Manchester United will be facing off against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, but fans in the UK won’t be able to watch the game on TV. The Red Devils are coming into this match on the back of their Europa League triumph over Lyon, with their sights set on securing their spot in the Champions League next season. Despite a subpar league performance this season, United will be looking to end on a positive note.
Ruben Amorim’s side will have to be on their toes as they take on a formidable Wolves team who are on a four-match winning streak and have not suffered a defeat in the Premier League since February. Vitor Pereira’s team recently handed Tottenham a 4-2 defeat at Molineux, showcasing their strong form. A win against Wolves could lift United’s spirits as they aim to finish the season on a high note.
The reason why the Manchester United vs Wolves match won’t be broadcast on UK TV is due to United’s commitment in the Europa League. The Red Devils had a thrilling encounter against Lyon just before this match, securing a 5-4 victory after extra time. With multiple matches scheduled for Sunday, Sky Sports opted to broadcast other games instead, leaving UK fans unable to watch the Old Trafford clash.
UK viewers who are eager to catch up on the action will have to wait for around 20 minutes after the match ends for three-minute highlights to be posted on YouTube and the Sky Sports App. For a more detailed highlights package, Match of the Day 2 on BBC One at 10.30 pm will provide a comprehensive overview of the game. International fans can tune in through their local Premier League TV rights holders to watch the match live.
In the US, viewers can catch the game live at 9:00 am ET, while in Australia, Optus Sport will air the match from 12:00 am on Monday. As for the other Premier League games airing on TV, Sky Sports subscribers can look forward to two live broadcasts at 2 pm and 4:30 pm. Arsenal’s visit to Ipswich Town and Liverpool’s clash with Leicester are the featured matches, with the latter potentially having title implications for the Reds.
Although UK fans won’t be able to watch Manchester United vs Wolves live on TV, there are still plenty of options available to keep up with the match and other Premier League fixtures. The changing landscape of TV broadcasting rights means that fans will soon have more access to live matches, offering an enhanced viewing experience for football enthusiasts across the UK.
