Live football on TV today

The road to World Cup 2026 continues this week – with the final six spots set to be filled and qualified teams stepping up their preparations for the tournament.

Last week's heartbreak means none of the home nations are taking part in the qualifying play-off finals on Tuesday, but England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, and Wales are all playing friendlies.

Elsewhere, the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League wrap up, and all 72 EFL teams are in action.

Sky Sports boast the lion's share of football TV rights in 2025/26, including a huge number of Premier League and FA Women's Super League games, as well as a deal that will broadcast over 1,000 English Football League and Carabao Cup matches over the course of the season.

TNT Sports will show Premier League, Champions League, Europa League and Conference League action throughout next season, with all of the action available with a discovery+ Premium Monthly Pass.

Check out our guide to the best football matches on TV today and across the week to come.
