Find your Sky Sports+ match
On a Sky TV device
Open the sports or match-selection menu for your supported Sky device and choose the individual fixture. Where available, the red button opens additional streams. The exact route differs between Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream; use the current device instructions rather than assuming every box has the same controls.
On a phone or tablet
Use the supported Sky Sports app, sign in with an eligible subscription and look for the live match stream. Check Sky's device guidance; availability in one app does not mean every Sky app offers the same streams.
Through NOW
Sign in to NOW with an eligible sports membership, open Sports and look for the channel or additional event stream. Check the match and your device before buying a pass.
Free matches and highlights
Selected live matches
ITV's agreement with Sky covers selected EFL matches through the end of 2026/27. It does not make the entire Championship free to watch. Check the exact channel or service in our confirmed free-TV listings.
Highlights after the match
A highlights programme or short video is different from live full-match coverage. ITV provides EFL highlights; check its current programme guide for transmission times. Our results pages link to match details and available official-publisher videos.
Why a match may be missing
Not every Championship fixture is televised live in the UK. Selections and broadcast restrictions affect availability, particularly the usual Saturday-afternoon slot. An unverified listing means we do not yet have confirmed coverage, not that coverage has been ruled out.
Our fixture time means kick-off. Television build-up can begin earlier. This website provides listings and links to official services; it does not host live broadcasts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch every Championship match live in the UK?
No. UK availability depends on the broadcast selection and restrictions, including the usual Saturday-afternoon slot. Use the confirmed match listing. Missing confirmation is not proof that a match will not be televised.
Is Sky Sports+ the same as a Sky Sports TV channel?
Sky Sports+ includes a linear channel and additional match streams. A listed stream may not be the programme on the channel. Use the match selection menu on a supported device and check Sky's current guidance.
Can I watch Championship football through NOW?
NOW offers access to Sky Sports football with an eligible membership. Check the exact match, membership and supported device with NOW. NOW is a viewing service, not a separate match-specific channel confirmation.
Where can I watch Championship football for free?
Selected matches are simulcast free to air through ITV services. Check our confirmed free-TV listings and the broadcaster's regional availability and account requirements. Free highlights are different from a live full-match broadcast.
Does the listed time mean coverage starts then?
Our times are the match kick-off in UK time, using GMT or BST. A broadcaster's programme may begin earlier for build-up. Check its programme guide for the coverage start.
