Live Sport on TV

Welcome to WherestheMatch.com – The UK’s Definitive Live Sports Guide

Finding live sport on TV has become increasingly complex. With rights distributed across pay-TV giants like Sky Sports and TNT Sports, terrestrial channels like the BBC and ITV, and digital-only platforms, tracking down a specific event can be difficult.

WheresTheMatch serves as a central directory for the global sporting calendar. 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. We don't host streams; instead, we provide the essential data; times, channels, and legal viewing options, so you know exactly when and how to watch.

Live Sport Calendar: What’s on TV in April 2026

April is a pivotal month for the domestic football season, alongside the return of two of the year’s biggest sporting traditions: the Grand National and The Masters. With the Premier League title race entering the final straight and the Champions League moving into the knockout stages, there is high-stakes action nearly every night this month.

Horse Racing

The three-day meeting at Aintree culminates in the world’s most famous steeplechase on Saturday, April 11th. ITV will provide extensive free-to-air coverage of the full festival, featuring a packed schedule of elite jump racing before the main event at 4:00 PM.

Football

Snooker

Starts 18 April: World Snooker Championship
The 2026 World Championship gets underway at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. The BBC and TNT Sports provide wall-to-wall live coverage of the opening rounds as the top 16 seeds begin their bid for the sports' most prestigious title.

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.

Sign up to take control of these schedules

With over 35,000 live events listed annually, the full daily schedule can sometimes be overwhelming, but signing up to a subscription allows you to convert the global sports guide into a personalised planner tailored to your specific viewing habits. By signing up, you can refine the listings to prioritise the specific teams and competitions you follow and even configure smart email alerts to ensure you never miss a kick-off, particularly for those rescheduled midweek games. Additionally, users can filter the schedule based on their specific TV subscriptions, hiding broadcasters they cannot access to create a clean, relevant list of available live sport.

Download our App for free on iOS and Android

For sports fans who need access to schedules on the move, the WherestheMatch app provides the full functionality of our desktop site in a fast, mobile-optimised format available for free on both the App Store and Google Play. It gives you instant access to accurate kick-off times and channel details, which is especially handy if you are trying to find the right channel while at the pub or just planning your weekend viewing during a commute.

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.
