Welcome to the KOKA Sports Live Sport on TV Guide
Live sport in the UK is spread across more pay-TV platforms, streaming services and terrestrial channels than ever: Sky Sports, TNT Sports, DAZN, Amazon Prime Video, the BBC, ITV and a growing list of dedicated apps all hold a piece of the rights. Working out who's actually showing your match, and at what time, shouldn't be the hard part.
That's what this page is for. We bring kick-off times and channel details for football, rugby, cricket, darts, golf, combat sports, motorsport and more together into one easy-to-scan schedule, kept up to date as fixtures and broadcasters change.
Checked, Not Just Scraped
Broadcast schedules move constantly. Games get shuffled for TV slots, kick-off times shift at short notice, and last-minute channel changes are common, especially around midweek football and cup competitions. We review and refresh our listings on an ongoing basis against official broadcaster schedules, so what you see here reflects the current picture as closely as possible. Schedules can still change late, so it's always worth a final check with your broadcaster nearer kick-off.
Covering More Than Just Football
Football gets the headlines, but the sporting calendar is much bigger than that. Alongside every major football competition, our listings cover Rugby Union and Rugby League, international and domestic Cricket, Darts, Golf, Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts, Horse Racing, Cycling, Tennis, Formula 1 and MotoGP, NFL and more, all in one place.
