You know that frantic feeling on a Saturday morning? Scrambling through your remote, checking three different apps, and desperately hoping the match isn't behind another new paywall.
Being a Red in 2026 is basically a part-time job in subscription management. Between the Premier League, a revamped Champions League format, and the domestic cups, figuring out the Liverpool FC TV schedule has become a puzzle that requires a PhD in broadcasting rights.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a mess.
One week you're on Sky, the next you're searching for a TNT Sports log-in, and then suddenly you're told the game is only on Amazon Prime or streaming exclusively on a platform you forgot you subscribed to last Christmas. If you feel like you're constantly missing the first ten minutes because of a "technical error" or a forgotten password, you aren't alone.
The Current State of the Liverpool FC TV Schedule
Right now, we are in the heart of the 2025/26 campaign. Liverpool is neck-and-neck at the top of the table, and the broadcast picks for late January and February have finally been locked in.
If you’re in the UK, the "Saturday 3pm Blackout" still exists, which is basically the bane of every modern fan’s existence. But for the big televised slots, the heavy hitters like Sky Sports and TNT Sports have already carved up the calendar.

Upcoming Matches and Where to Find Them (UK)
- Wednesday, Jan 21: Marseille vs Liverpool (Champions League) – TNT Sports 1 at 8:00pm.
- Saturday, Jan 24: Bournemouth vs Liverpool (Premier League) – Sky Sports Main Event at 5:30pm.
- Wednesday, Jan 28: Liverpool vs Qarabag (Champions League) – TNT Sports at 8:00pm.
- Saturday, Jan 31: Liverpool vs Newcastle (Premier League) – TNT Sports 1 at 8:00pm.
- Sunday, Feb 8: Liverpool vs Manchester City (The Big One) – Sky Sports at 4:30pm.
Wait, why is the Newcastle game on a Saturday night? That’s the new "Package G" influence. Broadcasters are pushing later and later into the weekend to avoid that 3pm dead zone.
Watching from the United States
For the fans across the pond, it’s actually a little more streamlined, but potentially more expensive. NBC still holds the keys to the kingdom.
Basically, if the game is on "Big NBC" or USA Network, you’re golden with a standard cable package or a service like Fubo or Sling. But—and this is a big "but"—Peacock is non-negotiable. About half of Liverpool’s league games end up exclusive to Peacock Premium.
For the Champions League, it’s all about Paramount+. If you’re trying to catch the FA Cup, you’ll need ESPN+. It’s a lot of apps for one team.
Why Does the Schedule Keep Changing?

Essentially, the Premier League and broadcasters like Sky can move a game with only a few weeks' notice to suit their ratings. A Sunday 2pm kickoff can suddenly become a Monday Night Football slot.
This usually happens because of:
- European Commitments: If Liverpool plays in Europe on a Thursday (heaven forbid we're back in the Europa), the Sunday game is a guarantee.
- The "Big Six" Revenue: Games involving Liverpool, City, or Arsenal pull the most eyes. If a title race heats up, expect more schedule shuffling to ensure those games are in "Prime Time."
- Police Requests: Local authorities in Liverpool often move high-risk games (like the Merseyside Derby or United) to earlier slots to prevent "all-day drinking" issues.
The Streaming Revolution and "All Red Video"
There is a weird misconception that LFCTV (or the "All Red Video" package) shows live Premier League games.
It doesn't.
No club-owned channel is allowed to broadcast live league matches due to the massive multi-billion pound deals with Sky and TNT. What you do get is the "live" audio commentary and then the full match replay usually at midnight. If you can stay off social media for 6 hours and avoid the score, it’s a cheap way to watch. But let's be real: nobody has that kind of self-control in 2026.

How to Not Get Caught Out
The most annoying thing is assuming a game is on a certain channel because it was there last week.
Remember, Amazon Prime usually takes two full "rounds" of fixtures—usually around December or early January. If you see a midweek game and it's not on Sky or TNT, check your Amazon account.
Also, keep an eye on the "Ultra HDR" listings. Sky has been moving more games to their dedicated 4K channels, which often requires an extra add-on. It’s a sneaky way to squeeze a few more quid out of the fans, but the picture quality at Anfield under the lights is admittedly stunning in 4K.
Practical Steps for the Season Ahead
Don't just rely on the official Premier League app; it's often slow to update with the actual TV channel info.
Instead, use a dedicated "Live Football on TV" aggregator. These sites track the specific broadcast satellites and streaming assignments down to the minute. If you’re traveling, remember that your UK Sky Go app won't work in the US without some serious digital gymnastics, and vice versa.
- Check the 5-week window: Broadcasters usually announce changes in blocks. If you're planning a trip to Anfield for March, don't book your trains until the TV picks for that month are finalized.
- Consolidate subscriptions: Look for bundles. Often, TNT Sports (formerly BT) can be added to a Sky or Virgin package for a discount compared to buying it standalone.
- Radio is the backup: if you’re stuck in the car, BBC Radio 5 Live and TalkSport are still the kings of the airwaves for the Liverpool FC TV schedule when you can't actually get to a screen.
By the time we hit the run-in for the title in May, every single game will be televised one way or another. Just make sure your internet connection—and your wallet—is ready for the onslaught.
