← Back to Match CentreMan City v Ipswich

Manchester City host Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 17 October 2026, but there is no live UK television coverage of the 3pm kick-off.

Here’s how to watch Man City vs Ipswich overseas and catch the highlights in the UK, where Match of the Day will include the game on Saturday night.

What channel is Man City vs Ipswich on?

Man City vs Ipswich is not being shown live on UK television because it falls within the Saturday afternoon broadcast blackout.

The match will therefore not be available live on Sky Sports or TNT Sports. For games being televised this weekend, see our football on TV guide.

Can I stream Man City vs Ipswich in the UK?

There is no official live video stream in the UK. The Saturday blackout applies to streaming as well as television, so Sky Go and NOW will not carry the match live.

BBC iPlayer will provide access to Match of the Day highlights, rather than live coverage from the Etihad Stadium.
