A Guide on How to Follow Real-Time English Top-Flight, Women's Super League and NFL Fixtures This Weekend
The complete schedule to a packed weekend of soccer and NFL action, featuring real-time updates, crucial fixtures, and all the essential timings.
Saturday
8am BSTWeekend Football Portal
Starting the weekend's coverage is our go-to hub for the full slate of football programme. The presenter will be covering the four Premier League games, alongside Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership matches, while also sharing latest updates and reader feedback. Feel free to get involved.
12pmEverton v Arsenal live
Saturday’s lunchtime Women’s Super League fixture features Arsenal heading to Goodison Park on the back of victories over Liverpool and Twente. The Gunners are fourth in the table, while Everton are in ninth after they ended Chelsea’s long unbeaten run last weekend with a 1-0 win. It has been said that Everton are “a very unpredictable team” who “can do different things,” requiring opponents to assess their plan early. Minute-by-minute updates will be led by the presenter, with correspondent on the ground.
3pmLive Multi-Match Coverage
Our host is in the hotseat the coverage on two of Saturday afternoon’s highlight games. Chelsea are an erratic lot. The side are without a win in their last three Premier League matches and meet an Everton side that is on a roll, having won four of their last five league matches. In another game, Liverpool have hit a rough patch from a loss of form and internal fallout, though their midweek European win shows they are not a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Reporters will be filing updates from both venues.
8pmLive: Arsenal vs Wolves
A matchup of top versus rock bottom, and the signs are not good for Wolves. Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against them. Adding to that, Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season. Arsenal are aiming to win five consecutive home Premier League matches and shrug off their loss last week. A 3-0 midweek win in Europe suggests that defeat was a blip, though a growing injury list is a concern. Coverage will be managed by our host, with a reporter at the Emirates.
Sunday
8amMatchday live
The presenters are on duty to keep you abreast of all Sunday’s football action. This includes five games in the WSL, the same number in the Premier League, the Scottish League Cup final, and key European fixtures involving clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. There will be goal updates from the early WSL kick-offs, analysis from Saturday’s games, and a look ahead to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.
2pmAfternoon Action
The presenter hosts our live blog with two major games in focus. Crystal Palace confront Manchester City for the first time since Palace’s cup final win, though their home league record against City is poor. City arrive after a thrilling European fightback and as the league’s leading scorers. In the other game, Tottenham travel to a struggling Nottingham Forest. Spurs' away record is strong, with only one team having won more away games this season. Correspondents will be on site for both matches.
16:30Late Afternoon Kickoff
Our host is on coverage duty for the late afternoon kickoff where Leeds arrive with confidence after good results against top sides. A formation change has been the catalyst for their turnaround. Brentford have lost their last two league games. Given Leeds' poor historical record in London, the home side might expect to turnaround their slump. A reporter will be at west London.
6pmSunday NFL Live
The presenter hosts our essential companion to Sunday’s NFL programme. The New England Patriots can win their first division title this decade by defeating the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots are on an 11-game winning streak. Buffalo has won the past five division crowns, but New England has improved significantly. In another crucial game, the Kansas City Chiefs, with their long playoff streak in jeopardy, host the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs are outside the playoff picture and face elimination if they lose and other results go against them. The Chargers are currently in a playoff position.
