Liverpool Fixtures on TV – Complete 2025 UK TV Guide
For Liverpool supporters in the UK, finding the exact channel and kick‑off time for the next match often requires checking multiple sources. Broadcast rights are split between Sky Sports, TNT Sports, BBC, ITV, and occasionally Amazon Prime Video, depending on the competition. The schedule for Premier League games is only confirmed a few weeks in advance, while cup matches follow different rules. This guide brings together the latest information on where to watch Liverpool fixtures on TV, what is free to air, and what remains uncertain.
Liverpool’s next scheduled game, according to the club’s official site, has a time and channel listed as TBC on the live‑footballontv.com aggregator. The fixture list from ESPN shows four upcoming Premier League matches in May 2025, but none have a confirmed broadcaster yet. This is normal: TV picks are announced in batches throughout the season, and the channel is rarely known more than six weeks ahead.
The table below summarises the main broadcasters for each competition, the free‑to‑air opportunities, and the next five fixtures as they stand today.

How Can I Watch Liverpool Fixtures on TV for Free in the UK?
Free access to Liverpool matches is limited but possible through specific competitions and broadcaster catch‑up services. The key is knowing which games fall under free‑to‑air rules.
Free‑to‑Air Matches (BBC, ITV)
FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches involving Liverpool are sometimes selected by BBC or ITV. Under Ofcom’s listed events rules, certain rounds must be available free to air. For example, the FA Cup final and selected earlier rounds are on BBC or ITV. League games are almost never free to air, with the exception of a few Premier League matches that Amazon Prime Video streams without a subscription (but require an Amazon account).
Trial Subscriptions and Free Streams
Both Sky Sports and TNT Sports offer free trials for new customers – typically 7 days for Sky via Now TV and 7 days for TNT Sports through Discovery+. Existing Sky TV customers can add Sky Sports and stream via Sky Go on phone or tablet. These trials are legitimate ways to watch a single match without a long‑term commitment.
Free trials often require payment details and auto‑renew. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid charges. Always use official platforms – illegal streams risk malware and poor quality.
Legal Free Streaming Services
BBC iPlayer and ITVX are the only no‑cost services that stream live football in the UK. Both are available on smart TVs, phones, and tablets. For radio commentary, BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT offer free audio coverage of all Liverpool matches.

Several apps, including Live Football On TV, allow you to export Liverpool’s fixture list with TV channels to your phone calendar. This is useful for staying up to date when picks are finalised.
When Are Liverpool TV Fixtures Announced?
Understanding the timeline helps you know when to check back for confirmed channels. The Premier League releases TV picks in blocks.
- August (pre‑season): Premier League fixtures released; TV picks for first month announced about two weeks later.
- Throughout season: TV picks for each month announced 4–6 weeks before the first match of that month.
- Week of match: Final confirmation of kick‑off times and channels (rare changes).
- Match day: Live broadcast on designated channel.
Cup competition TV picks (FA Cup, Carabao Cup) are announced on a round‑by‑round basis, often 3–4 weeks before the match.
Certainty vs. Uncertainty: Liverpool Fixtures on TV
| Established Information | Information That Remains Unclear |
|---|---|
| All Premier League and Champions League Liverpool games are broadcast in the UK. Rights are sold to broadcasters; only exception is if a match is not selected for UK TV (rarely happens for Liverpool). | The exact channel and kick‑off time for a future match is known months in advance. Only confirmed after TV slot selection; early fixtures may have provisional times. |
| You can watch Liverpool on TV for free using BBC iPlayer when the match is on BBC (FA Cup/Carabao Cup). Premier League matches are not on BBC iPlayer. | All Liverpool matches are available via paid subscriptions only. Some FA Cup matches on free‑to‑air BBC/ITV contradict this. |
How to Choose the Best Way to Watch Liverpool on TV
The decision largely depends on how many matches you want to see and your budget. Sky Sports carries the most Premier League games – between 128 and 215 per season – and offers Sky Go for streaming. TNT Sports is essential for Champions League and also shows selected league and cup matches. BBC and ITV are free for the cup fixtures they cover.
For cord‑cutters, each broadcaster provides a dedicated streaming app: Sky Go, Discovery+ (TNT), BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and Amazon Prime Video. A single‑match pass on Now TV (Sky Sports) costs around £11.99 for a day. TNT Sports via Discovery+ offers a monthly subscription with no contract.
To avoid illegal streams, always use official channels. Sky Sports Liverpool fixtures and BBC Sport Liverpool are reliable starting points.
