Premier League returns 10–12 October 2026: UTC times

The Premier League returns on Saturday 10 October 2026. The 2026/27 fixture list on premierleague.com (19 June 2026) has no league matches between Sunday 20 September and that Saturday. This note covers the ten matches through Monday 12 October, using clocks the league and NBC Sports have printed. A later television pick can still move a kick-off.

Which pages agree on this card?

The 19 June fixture release and the 17 August 2026 amendment (“Fixture amendments for Premier League matches in October and November”) give the UK clocks and, where a match was selected, the UK broadcaster. NBC Sports (29 September 2026) prints the same ten matches in US Eastern time and calls the round matchweek 6. On these three days the pages agree. Later October weekends were revised after June, so they are left out.

The UK is on British Summer Time. The amendment says unspecified kick-offs are 15:00 BST through Saturday 24 October, and GMT from Sunday 25 October. US Eastern time is Eastern Daylight Time, UTC−4. NBC’s Eastern times match that.

Kick-off times, 10–12 October 2026

UTC is the published BST time minus one hour. CEST is UTC+2, the usual clock in France, Germany, Spain and Italy while summer time lasts. If your country has already left summer time, use UTC. The ET column is quoted from NBC Sports.

Arsenal v Leeds United is first, at 11:30 UTC. Liverpool v Manchester City is 15:30 UTC on Sunday, and Coventry City v Newcastle United is 19:00 UTC on Monday. Set the programme guide to the city where the television sits. A guide left on UTC shows the lunchtime game an hour early in Britain.

Which matches are on UK television?

The August amendment names a broadcaster only for the selected matches: Arsenal v Leeds United on TNT Sports (Saturday 12:30 BST); Manchester United v Tottenham on Sky Sports (Saturday 17:30 BST); Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest and Hull City v Everton on Sky Sports (Sunday 14:00 BST); Liverpool v Manchester City on Sky Sports (Sunday 16:30 BST); Coventry City v Newcastle United on Sky Sports (Monday 20:00 BST).

Aston Villa v Brentford, Chelsea v AFC Bournemouth, Ipswich Town v Fulham and Sunderland v Brighton stay at 15:00 BST with no Sky or TNT label. The league’s explainer of 19 June 2026 says Sky Sports and TNT Sports hold the live UK rights, may schedule picks from 20:00 Friday through 20:00 Monday, and are not allowed to show a match at 15:00 on Saturday because of the blackout between 14:45 and 17:15. It also gives season minimums of 267 live UK broadcasts, at least 215 on Sky and 52 on TNT. Those numbers are the league’s, not a channel count on a subscription. A match moved off 15:00 Saturday for a non-broadcast reason is shown by Sky Sports. These four stay at 15:00, so that line does not place them on Sky.

NBC Sports says all 380 matches in 2026-27 are carried in the United States across NBC, USA Network and Peacock. It prints the Eastern times above and does not assign one outlet to each fixture. Check the matchday listing that week. Other countries are not mapped here.

How to watch this matchweek

In the UK, open Sky Sports or TNT Sports for the selected matches and confirm on Friday that the clock still matches the table. The 15:00 BST matches sit in the blackout the league described, so a UK domestic feed will not carry them live. In the US, take the NBC Sports times, then the day’s NBC, USA Network or Peacock line-up. The season is split across those outlets.

WorldIPTV is one more option when you want a sports guide on the television you already use, beside those licensed paths. This article does not claim that any match in the table is on a named channel in the service, and it does not describe a way around a blackout or a geo-block. You still follow the law where you watch.

Plan length and screen count are on compare. Prices are on pricing. Also useful: IPTV football, the UK hub, the Premier League 2026-27 guide, and the Nations League page for 5 and 6 October. A look at your own line before a longer plan is the free trial.

Before 11:30 UTC on Saturday, use Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The site FAQ gives a planning figure of 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per screen. Open the player you already have, keep the login in your own notes, and set the guide timezone. This page has no playlist address. If the picture still fails after one band change and one quality drop, stop before you buy a longer plan.

After Monday

UEFA lists Champions League league-phase matchday 2 on 13/14 October 2026 and matchday 3 on 20/21 October 2026, and says the dates can change. Ties are not copied here. The same Premier League amendment prints 17–19 October with its own Sky and TNT picks.
