Checking the man utd tv schedule feels like a part-time job lately. Honestly, if you aren't scrolling through three different apps on a Tuesday night just to figure out if the game is on TNT or Sky, are you even a United fan? Between the Premier League shuffle and the European nights, things get messy fast.
The 2025/26 season is well underway, and we've already seen Ruben Amorim trying to imprint that three-at-the-back system. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. One week we’re looking like world-beaters, and the next we’re drawing 2-2 with Burnley on a rainy Wednesday night.
If you're trying to plan your life around the Reds, here is the absolute latest on where and when they are playing.
The immediate man utd tv schedule: January and February 2026
The next few weeks are brutal. We’ve got the Manchester derby, a trip to the Emirates, and a Monday night fixture that’s bound to annoy anyone with a job.
Saturday, January 17: Manchester United vs. Manchester City
This is the big one. Old Trafford. The 198th Manchester derby.

Why does the schedule keep changing?
It’s annoying, right? You book a train to London or clear your Saturday afternoon, then suddenly the game is on a Sunday at 7 PM.
Basically, the broadcasters rule everything. Sky Sports and TNT Sports in the UK pick their "packages" months in advance, but they can move games up to about six weeks before kick-off. Then you've got the Europa League. If United plays on a Thursday night in Europe, the Sunday game is almost a guarantee. You won't see them playing on a Saturday morning after a flight back from Turkey or Spain.
In the US, NBC has it a bit simpler since they own all the rights, but they still bounce games between the USA Network and Peacock. If you don't have a Peacock subscription by now, you’re basically missing half the season.

Cup Competitions: The FA Cup and Carabao Cup
We just saw the Reds fall 2-1 to Brighton in the FA Cup third round on January 11th. It was a tough watch. With the FA Cup run over early, the schedule has actually cleared up a bit, though nobody wanted it to happen that way.
For the Carabao Cup, if United progresses, those games usually land on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. In the UK, Sky Sports is the home for these, but ITV has started picking up more select matches lately. In the US, you’re looking at ESPN+ for the FA Cup (well, next year now) and usually Paramount+ for the Carabao Cup.
Where to watch Man Utd if you're in the USA
If you are across the pond, the man utd tv schedule is actually a bit easier to navigate than in the UK, provided you have the right logins.
- USA Network: This is where the "big" cable games live.
- Peacock: If the game isn't on USA or NBC, it's here. They also have "Goal Rush," which is great for keeping up with the rest of the league.
- Universo / Telemundo: For the Spanish language broadcast. Honestly, sometimes the commentary is more energetic anyway.
Tips for staying updated
The worst thing is settling onto the sofa only to realize the game was a 12:30 kick-off and you’ve missed the first half.
- Sync your calendar: The official United app has a "Sync to Calendar" feature. Use it. It updates automatically when TNT or Sky moves a game.
- Check the 3 PM blackout: If you’re in the UK, remember that Saturday 3 PM games are never on TV. If United is playing Crystal Palace on February 28th at 3 PM, you’re listening to it on BBC Radio 5 Live or watching the highlights later.
- MUTV: It’s good for the youth games and pre-match buildup, but they do not show live Premier League games. Don't buy it thinking you'll see the derby live. You won't.
Looking ahead, March is already looking packed with Newcastle and Aston Villa on the horizon. The dates for those will likely be finalized by the end of January. Keep an eye on the TV picks around then, especially for the Newcastle away game which is currently pencilled in for a Wednesday night.
Actionable Next Steps:
Check your subscription status for Peacock (US) or TNT Sports (UK) before the Tottenham game on February 7th, as that's the next major channel hop. If you're traveling for the Everton game on February 23rd, confirm your travel plans now that the Monday night slot is 100% locked in.
