- 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

Frequently asked questions
What channel is Celtic on?
Celtic play Rangers on Sunday 20 September, kick-off 12pm. On Celtic TV, Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports Main Event — subscription needed.
Is Celtic on TV tonight?
No. Celtic are not playing today. Their next match is Celtic v Rangers on Sunday 20 September at 12pm.
Can I watch Celtic for free?
Not in the current schedule. Every upcoming Celtic 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 Celtic 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.
