Live football on TV today

FA Cup third round weekend is one of the highlights of the English football calendar.

Football's oldest club competition will take centre stage at the end of the week, with some tantalising ties, but first there is a full slate of Premier League games.

The AFCON 2025 knockout stages continue at pace as well, with the end of the Round of 16 and start of the Quarter-Finals, while the Women's Super League returns from its winter break.

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.
