Why Isn’t Tottenham vs Fulham on TV? How to Watch the Premier League Match
As Tottenham Hotspur, managed by Ange Postecoglou, prepares to host fellow London club Fulham on Sunday afternoon, fans in the UK hoping to watch the match on TV will be disappointed. Tottenham, fresh from their 4-0 victory over Manchester City, are aiming for back-to-back Premier League wins, sitting in sixth place, just three points shy of the top four.
Fulham, in ninth place, are eager to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Wolves the previous weekend. A win could see them leapfrog Spurs in the table, setting up an exciting clash between the two teams. However, despite the intriguing matchup, UK viewers will not be able to watch it live on TV.
Why Isn’t Tottenham vs Fulham on TV?
The reason the match isn’t being broadcast is due to scheduling conflicts. Tottenham played Roma on Thursday evening, which led to their Premier League match being moved to a 1:30 pm slot on Sunday. Similarly, other teams, like Manchester United and Chelsea, also played on Thursday, resulting in their Premier League games being scheduled for the same time.
While Sky Sports is broadcasting Chelsea’s match against Aston Villa and Manchester City’s high-profile clash with Liverpool at 4 pm (moved earlier for police reasons), Spurs’ game has not been selected for coverage. This scheduling situation will change next season when the Premier League’s new TV deal ensures that all games, except those scheduled for 3 pm on Saturdays, will be broadcast live in the UK.
How to Watch Tottenham vs Fulham
For those outside the UK, the match will be available through local Premier League broadcasters. For example, Sky Sports Italy will air the match, and NBCUniversal holds the rights to all Premier League games in the United States.
In the UK, fans can catch highlights on Sky Sports shortly after the match ends. Extended highlights will also be available on BBC One’s Match of the Day 2 at 10:30 pm.
