Where Bournemouth matches are shown
Bournemouth appear in more than one competition this season, and the broadcaster changes with it — which is the usual reason a supporter can watch one week and not the next.
- Europa League — TNT Sports
- Premier League — Sky Sports and TNT Sports
Watching Bournemouth without a subscription
Most Bournemouth matches are not free. Premier League rights sit with Sky Sports and TNT Sports, and no aerial or Freeview box will show them. What you can watch free is narrower than people expect:
- FA Cup ties selected for BBC One or ITV1, and the final, which is protected by law as a listed event
- Domestic cup runs when the BBC or ITV pick the tie
- European and international football when it reaches a listed final
- Women’s Super League matches selected by the BBC
- Highlights — Match of the Day on BBC One, and EFL Highlights on ITV4
Football on free TV tonight lists everything showing without a subscription right now, across every channel.
Frequently asked questions
What channel is Bournemouth on?
Bournemouth play Sparta Prague on Thursday 5 November, kick-off 5.45pm. On TNT Sports 2 — subscription needed.
Is Bournemouth on TV tonight?
No. Bournemouth are not playing today. Their next match is Sparta Prague v Bournemouth on Thursday 5 November at 5.45pm.
Can I watch Bournemouth for free?
Not in the current schedule. Every upcoming Bournemouth fixture with a confirmed broadcaster is on a subscription channel. Free-to-air coverage is mostly limited to cup ties on BBC or ITV and the FA Cup final, which is protected by law.
Why is the Bournemouth match not on TV?
If it kicks off at 3pm on a Saturday, UK rules bar any live broadcast between 2.45 and 5.15 to protect attendances at lower-league grounds. That blackout is why a fixture can be sold out on TV everywhere else in the world and shown nowhere here. Otherwise the match may simply not have been selected, or the broadcaster may not have announced it yet — TV picks are usually confirmed one to two weeks ahead.
