Your guide to the best live football matches on Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC, ITV and beyond.
Football may not have come home, but it’s coming back! The Premier League 2021/22 season is right around the corner and there’s a hefty slate of games in the coming weeks.
Brentford is the setting for the top flight curtain-raiser as they welcome crowds back to stands and entertain Arsenal on Friday night.
The Premier League new boys will hope to make a lasting impression during their first top-flight game since 1947 with Ivan Toney primed for a breakout season in the top flight.
Fans will fill grounds across the land once more in the coming weeks and months – hopefully without interruption – as normal life resumes. Crowds will provide the colourful backdrop and varied soundtrack that no amount of banners or artificial noises could ever replicate.
However, the return of fans’ attendance in person does mean one thing: fewer games on TV. Not every Premier League match will be shown live on TV but RadioTimes.com is on hand to bring you all the details about matches that are.
Regular broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport make up the majority of the Premier League TV schedule while Amazon Prime Video will take a back seat until the Christmas rush comes around.
Check out your guide to the best football matches on TV today, and for the next week.
