Carabao Cup on TV: your questions
Which channels show the Carabao Cup in the UK?
Sky Sports carries the competition, with selected ties also shown through ITV. Use each fixture’s confirmed listing to choose a channel or service. The tabs above narrow the guide to Sky, ITV or free coverage. A competition-wide rights agreement alone is not used to assign a specific channel to a match.
Is the time shown kick-off or programme start?
Each card shows the match’s UK kick-off time, with GMT or BST as appropriate. Broadcasters may begin their build-up earlier, and that programme start time is not inferred here. Tonight means kick-offs from 18:00 until midnight; This week uses Monday to Sunday rather than the next seven days.
What does Channel TBC mean?
The broadcaster has confirmed the fixture but the exact channel is not yet recorded. The match stays in this guide so you can plan ahead, with its uncertainty clearly shown. Named channels only hides these entries. Check the broadcaster before buying access, because a channel selection or kick-off time can change.
Does a BBC score page mean the match is on BBC TV?
No. A score page, live text or radio commentary is different from live television coverage. This guide uses confirmed UK match broadcasts, not links to score services. Match results are checked twice daily, so the page should not be treated as a minute-by-minute live scoreboard or a list of available full-match replays.
About these TV listings
A confirmed broadcaster and a confirmed channel are different details. Match information is checked twice daily; results are not updated minute by minute. Use the viewing link on your match card, and check your access before kick-off.
