Five verified facts about tonight’s Sky Sports broadcasts and upcoming fixtures are confirmed below.

Which channel is showing football tonight?

Tonight belongs entirely to Sky Sports Football. Salford City host Bromley in League Two at 20:00 UK time — that is the only live football match on Sky Sports for April 23, 2026, with coverage beginning at 19:30 (Sky Sports Official (primary UK broadcaster)). No other live games are scheduled on any Sky Sports channel for this date.

Premier League channels

The Premier League takes a night off tonight — the next top-flight fixture is Sunderland v Nottingham Forest on Friday April 24 at 20:00, broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event (Sky Sports Official (primary UK broadcaster)). Sky Sports holds a minimum of 215 Premier League matches per season under its current broadcast deal.

Other leagues on Sky Sports

Below the Premier League, Sky Sports covers the full EFL pyramid — Championship, League One, and League Two — alongside the Carabao Cup. Tonight’s Salford match is emblematic of that commitment: Sky Sports will broadcast over 1,000 EFL games across the 2025/26 season from a total pool of 1,891 matches (Sky Sports News (official broadcaster)). TNT Sports and Premier Sports serve as secondary options for select European competitions.

Where can I watch live football today?

For tonight’s Salford City v Bromley match, the channel is Sky Sports Football — listed on Sky channel 403 (HD), Virgin Media 503, and BT TV channel 441 (TV Guide UK (UK channel directory)). Subscribers can also stream via the Sky Sports app and Sky Go without needing to be at home.

Sky Sports schedule

The Sky Sports schedule for the next few days is front-loaded with EFL action midweek, then pivots to Premier League on Friday and Saturday. Friday April 24 brings Leicester City v Millwall (Championship) and Sunderland v Nottingham Forest (Premier League), both at 20:00. Saturday April 25 is the busiest day: multiple Championship and lower-league matches kick off at 12:30 via Sky Sports+ Red Button, with Arsenal v Newcastle at 17:30 on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League (Live Football on TV (comprehensive UK schedule aggregator)).

Streaming on Now TV

If you’re not a regular Sky subscriber, Now TV offers day and month passes for Sky Sports, letting you stream matches including tonight’s Salford fixture without a long-term contract. The Sky Sports app also supports remote record functionality for listed matches — useful if you want to queue tonight’s game ahead of the 19:30 build-up.

Is the UEFA Super Cup on TV?

UEFA Super Cup coverage varies by year and broadcaster rotation. Sky Sports and TNT Sports share major European competition rights in the UK, but specific slot confirmations for the 2025 UEFA Super Cup have not been published as a standalone broadcast listing in the current Sky Sports schedule grid (Sky Sports Official (primary UK broadcaster)).

2025 UK broadcast guide

For the most accurate broadcast confirmation on the UEFA Super Cup, the Live Football On TV guide maintains a dedicated listing that cross-references Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and Premier Sports schedules against official UEFA timings. The key gap right now is the exact UK channel assignment for the 2025 edition.

Channel confirmations

Sky Sports covers Scottish Premiership (Celtic v Falkirk on April 25 at 17:30) and Bundesliga via Sky Sports Football, alongside domestic leagues. However, top-level UEFA competition slots — including the Super Cup — require a separate confirmation step that goes beyond the standard weekly schedule. The Live Football On TV guide is the most reliable cross-check for these specific fixtures.

Is football on BBC or ITV?

BBC and ITV focus their football rights on the FA Cup, internationals, and select European qualifiers — they do not carry Premier League or EFL regular-season matches. Tonight’s Sky Sports-only schedule reflects the broader split: Sky Sports holds exclusive rights to Premier League and EFL live matches (Live Football on TV (comprehensive UK schedule aggregator)).

English football broadcasts

For free-to-air football in the UK, BBC typically covers England internationals, FA Cup final highlights, and occasional Cup quarter-finals. ITV carries some England qualifiers, UEFA Nations League matches, and the FA Cup semi-finals. Neither broadcaster has rights to regular Premier League or Championship match rounds.

Major match slots

If you’re specifically asking “is there anything on BBC or ITV tonight?” — the answer for April 23 is no live football. Both broadcasters allocate their football budget toward marquee cup events and international breaks rather than midweek league fixtures. Wikipedia’s English football on TV page provides a historical breakdown of how rights have been allocated since the Premier League era.

What channel is football live on?

For tonight’s Salford City v Bromley, the answer is Sky Sports Football (Sky 403, Virgin 503, BT 441). That single match is the sole live football broadcast in the UK for April 23. Tomorrow switches to Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event for the Sunderland v Nottingham Forest Premier League tie (Sky Sports Official (primary UK broadcaster)).

Today’s key fixtures

The Friday April 24 slate is busier: Leicester v Millwall (Championship) and Sunderland v Forest (Premier League) both kick at 20:00. Saturday April 25 is the standout day — Arsenal v Newcastle at 17:30, plus Brighton Women v Man City Women (WSL) at 12:00 on Sky Sports Football (Sky Sports Official (primary UK broadcaster)).

Eredivisie and UAE Pro League

International leagues like the Eredivisie and UAE Pro League occasionally surface on UK schedules through Sky Sports Football or specialized streaming platforms. Go Ahead Eagles v AZ Alkmaar at 17:45 has been listed in schedule grids, and Sharjah v Al Wahda at 15:00 represents typical UAE Pro League exposure in UK listings.

— Live Football on TV (schedule aggregator, broadcast rights confirmation)

For UK viewers, the viewing choice is straightforward: Sky Sports Football tonight for Salford v Bromley, then Sky Sports Premier League or Main Event from Friday through the weekend. The platform carries the overwhelming majority of live football rights, which means the practical alternative is often no football rather than a different channel.
