We monitor schedule changes, rights announcements, and platform exclusives to provide a single, reliable source of information. From the Premier League and Formula 1 to International Cricket and Darts, our database covers every major competition.

How We Source Our Fixture Data

In the modern sporting calendar, fixtures change rapidly due to television demands, weather, and cup replays. To ensure our users are never caught out, we aggregate our data directly from official broadcaster schedules and league organisers. Our system updates daily, meaning if a Premier League game is moved from Saturday at 3pm to Sunday at 4:30pm for Sky Sports coverage, our guide reflects that change almost immediately. We prioritise official, legal sources, ensuring that every listing on our site points you towards a licensed broadcaster or streaming platform.

Covering More Than Just Football

While football often takes the headlines, Where's the Match is dedicated to covering the entire sporting landscape with up-to-date schedules for over 30 different disciplines. We know that UK sports fans have diverse interests, which is why our guide includes comprehensive listings for everything from Rugby Union and Rugby League to the major tournaments in Darts and Golf. Our coverage extends to the ring and the octagon with huge nights of Boxing and Combat Sports, alongside daily schedules for Horse Racing, Pool, Cycling and a great many more.

Who Are WheresTheMatch?

WheresTheMatch was created by a small team of UK-based sports fans who were frustrated by the fragmentation of television rights. We realised that with live sport splitting across Sky, TNT, Amazon, and terrestrial channels, it was becoming impossible to keep track of who was showing what. Since our launch, we have grown into the UK’s largest independent sport on TV guide, helping millions of fans every year navigate the complex broadcasting landscape. We are not a corporation; we are passionate supporters who believe that finding the kick-off time and channel for your team should be free, fast, and accurate.
