Liverpool’s high-flying side, managed by Arne Slot, welcomes Fulham to Anfield this afternoon in a thrilling Premier League encounter. Slot’s squad has been in scintillating form, losing just one game this season and holding a four-point lead at the top of the table, with a game in hand. Despite a Merseyside derby postponement last week due to adverse weather, Liverpool remains firmly in the title race, looking to extend their impressive run.
Fulham, who held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw last Sunday, are expected to provide a strong challenge, even though they have been somewhat unpredictable in mid-table. The clash promises to be an exciting one, but fans in the UK will be disappointed as the match is not being broadcast live on TV.
Why Isn’t Liverpool vs Fulham on TV?
The reason behind this lies in the Premier League’s “3pm blackout” rule, which prevents matches scheduled between 2:45 pm and 5:15 pm on Saturdays from being shown live on UK television. As a result, the Liverpool vs Fulham match, set for a 3pm kick-off, will not be aired.
This blackout rule also applies to other Premier League fixtures scheduled during the same time slot, including Arsenal’s match against Everton, Newcastle vs Leicester, and Wolves vs Ipswich Town. Fans hoping for live coverage on UK TV will have slim pickings on Saturday, with Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa being the only game available, kicking off at 5:30pm.
How to Watch Liverpool vs Fulham
While the match won’t be broadcast live in the UK, fans in other countries can catch the action. In Germany, Sky Sports will air the game, and in the United States, NBCUniversal holds the rights to all Premier League fixtures this season, so fans can tune in there as well.
For UK-based viewers, highlights will be available shortly after the final whistle via Sky Sports, with extended highlights airing on BBC One’s Match of the Day at 10:30pm.
Though UK fans can’t watch the match live, they can still follow the drama through other viewing options.
