Where Manchester United matches are shown
Manchester United 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.
- Champions League — TNT Sports, with Amazon Prime Video holding a small package
- Women’s Super League — Sky Sports and the BBC, and the BBC games are free
- Premier League — Sky Sports and TNT Sports
Watching Manchester United without a subscription
Most Manchester United 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 Manchester United on?
Manchester United play Arsenal WFC on Saturday 19 September, kick-off 5.30pm. On Sky Sports Football — subscription needed.
Is Manchester United on TV tonight?
Yes — Arsenal WFC v Manchester United WFC, kick-off 5.30pm. On Sky Sports Football — subscription needed.
Can I watch Manchester United for free?
Not in the current schedule. Every upcoming Manchester United 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 Manchester United 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.
