Live football on TV today

Fasten your seatbelts and take a deep breath. An electrifying weekend of live football on TV, and a decisive few days in the Premier League season, has arrived.

Games don't get much bigger than Sunday's clash between title rivals Arsenal and Man City at the Etihad but that's far from all the top-flight has in store.

Two derbies, Man Utd v Chelsea, key matches in the European race, and some pivotal fixtures in the relegation battle mean you barely need to move from your sofa all weekend.

Elsewhere, England and the rest of the home nations continue their World Cup 2027 qualifying campaigns, all three EFL divisions edge toward their conclusions, and there is the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

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.
