Live on Sky Sports this month: what to watch on Sky Sports in September and October 2025

How often golf gets your pulse racing depends on you, of course, but the sport doesn’t get more stirring than in the Ryder Cup. Rivalries are fierce, grudges are strong, and ambi-Atlantic pride (is that a thing?) is at stake in the biennial contest between Europe and the US. It’s live this month on Sky Sports, where you can also see the early stages of a huge NFL season, as well as absolutely tons of live football from the – deep breath – Premier League, Scottish Premiership, Women’s Super League, EFL Championship, EFL League One, EFL League Two, EFL Cup, EFL Trophy and Bundesliga.

Not enough for you? It’s just as well there’s also Formula One action, Super League rugby play-offs, cricket, tennis, darts and more. Read on for your comprehensive guide to the best of the sporting action in the coming month.

Here’s all the action you can enjoy live on Sky Sports this month.

Arsenal and Man City, second and third respectively in last season’s Premier League, meet at the Emirates on 21 September and they’ll both be desperate for points. Both made a flurry of big-name, big-money signings this summer to prepare for another tilt at the title, but City lost two of their first three matches while Arsenal missed the opportunity to get ahead of the champions when they went down 1-0 at Anfield in August. This clash has become even more important than it looked when the season began. Watch it live on Sky Sports.

Also this month you can see holders Liverpool away to promoted Burnley and world club champions Chelsea, as well as the Manchester derby and two from west London (Brentford v Chelsea and Fulham v Brentford). There are already signs that this is going to be a hugely unpredictable season, with the promoted clubs looking stronger than most recent Prem incomers, and unexpected results like Spurs losing at home to Bournemouth after winning at City. We’re confident it’s going to be a n incredible season, and you can follow it with more live games than ever before on Sky Sports.

After qualifying for European competition in 2023/24, Kilmarnock had a less successful 2024/25, finishing in ninth place in the Premiership (and they couldn’t blame the distraction of Europe, since they didn’t make it through the play-offs to the league stage). That led to the departure of coach Derek McInnes, and this year they’re looking for a fresh start under Stuart Kettlewell. Oddly, they’ve drawn all their league games so far – but with some League Cup wins under their belt and Ben Brannan in decent goalscoring form, they’ll walk out to face the champions at Rugby Park with some confidence.

When long-standing and super-successful coach Emma Hayes departed Chelsea in 2024, the rest of the WSL thought this might be their chance to finally dethrone the five-time champions. What happened next? New coach Sonia Bompastor delivered a sixth title, plus the FA Cup and League Cup. This summer the Blues’ traditional rivals have boosted their ranks, and their upcoming title challenges, with eye-catching signings: Man City brought in midfielder Sydney Lohmann from Bayern, while Arsenal splurged to make Liverpool forward Olivia Smith the first £1 million player in women’s football. Chelsea responded by signing USA forward Alyssa Thompson.

But the ones to watch are newly promoted London City Lionesses. Owned by US billionaire Michele Kang (who also has Lyon, renamed OL Lyonnes, and Washington Spirit in her portfolio), they’re hugely ambitious and have spent big this summer, bringing in numerous players including international stars Grace Geyoro, Daniëlle van der Donk, Elena Linari, Jana Fernández and Alanna Kennedy, as well as experienced England players Nikita Parris and Katie Zelem. They plan to shake up the establishment and with that line-up of talent, we wouldn’t bet against them.

Watch extensive live coverage of every round of WSL fixtures on Sky Sports, with a new “multiview” programme on Sundays to keep you across the day’s fixtures.

The south coast derby between Portsmouth and Southampton may not be as famous or storied as others, but it’s one of the most fiercely contested in English football. And thanks to the two clubs bouncing between the top three divisions in recent years, it’s become a rare fixture – in fact, they haven’t faced off in the league since April 2012. So with the anticipation cranked up, there should be a crackling atmosphere at St Mary’s for the Sunday lunchtime kick-off on 14 September.

After an ill-fated sojourn in the Premier League, the Saints have stuttered on their return to the Championship, winning just one of their first four games. They’ve captured some sought-after figures in coach Will Still and USA forward Damion Downs, but it hasn’t quite clicked yet. Pompey, meanwhile, are ready to push on from last season’s 16th place, and sit just outside the play-off places going into this match after a couple of hard-fought wins against Oxford and Preston. Early days, of course.

It’s all poised for a fascinating encounter live on Sky Sports, with lots more big Championship games to enjoy this month, including Frank Lampard’s Coventry against Midlands rivals Leicester and Birmingham, and early leaders Middlesbrough – now led by Official Handsomest Coach in Football, Rob Edwards – at home to West Brom.

League One is a Yorkshire-heavy division this season, with Barnsley, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United all competing. That means you’re never far from a derby match and sure enough, promoted Bradford host Huddersfield on 13 September, and then travel to relegated Rotherham on 2 October – you can see both games live on Sky Sports.

The Bantams finished behind both Doncaster and Port Vale in League Two last season (and were only promoted with a last-gasp winner on the final day) but Graham Alexander’s side have made a great start to life in the next tier up, going six games unbeaten at the start to establish themselves in the top six. That run ended at Doncaster, though, so they’ll need to improve their record against local rivals if they’re to stay there.

It was back in 2022 that US businessman Brad Galinson became owner of Gillingham, a change announced with much fanfare. However, the property mogul hasn’t seen much return on his investment: the Gills have finished 17th, 12th and 17th since then. This season it’s all change. Under Gareth Ainsworth, they shot to the top of League Two in August with impressive wins over fancied teams like Walsall and Chesterfield. This is a highly unpredictable league, of course, and early results don’t necessarily mean much – but the signs are good and Galinson will be feeling a lot happier. This month you can see the Kent side against another side tipped for success, MK Dons, with lots more League Two matches to enjoy on Sky Sports.

Sky Sports has live Bundesliga action on Saturdays when some of the German league’s biggest clashes take place. This month you can see champions Bayern in action twice, at home to promoted Hamburg and then away to Eintracht Frankfurt. The Frankfurters have been regular European qualifiers recently – they won the Europa League under Oliver Glasner in 2022 – and despite losing two top forwards recently, as Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike departed for the Premier League, they’ve made a winning start this term. Japan winger Ritsu Dōan, newly signed from Freiburg, has starred but the Bayern match will be a real test of their credentials. Before that you can see Die Adler (the Eagles) against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The EFL Cup has already thrown up one of the results of the season when Grimsby Town knocked out Manchester United, holding their nerve despite conceding a late equaliser to triumph 12-11 on penalties. The Mariners’ reward was an away tie against Sheffield Wednesday, who may be two divisions above them but are in dismal form with a thin squad thanks to financial problems. Could we see those inflatable haddock being waved in the crowd in the fourth round? Mark “Chappers” Chapman presents all the action from round 3, including a tasty-looking clash between south-east London neighbours Crystal Palace and Millwall, Arsenal away at Port Vale and holders Newcastle at home to Bradford.

Peterborough United are the holders and three-time winners of this trophy, but their record so far this season has reflected their shaky start to the league season, with a 3-1 home defeat to Leyton Orient in Southern Group F. Their next chance to continue their good record in the competition comes against Aston Villa’s Under-21s. The age-group sides don’t have a stellar history since they were admitted to the EFL Trophy in 2016, but Manchester City’s young ’uns appear determined to change that on the evidence of their 5-1 win at Oldham. Elsewhere, Tottenham Under-21 went 3-0 and 4-2 ahead at Bristol Rovers, only to draw 4-4 and lose in a shoot-out. Follow all the drama with every game live on Sky Sports.

Yes yes, the global golf tours continue throughout the month with the likes of the LPGA’s Queen City Championship and the European Tour’s French Open, but for European and American fans there’s only one eye-catching event on this month’s schedule: the Ryder Cup. Every two years the two golfing behemoths clash in an attempt to establish dominance and the competition is… intense. With a heady mix of matchplay format and international rivalry, it makes for three days of the most exciting golf you’ll ever see.

After a long period of US dominance, Europe had a good run starting in the mid-80s, but in recent years it’s been all about the venue – the past five Ryder Cups have been won by the home team, and convincingly, with five points the smallest margin of victory. So the Europeans need to gird their loins, because this year the teams are in New York to take on the Bethpage Black Course.

As usual, the US team looks stronger on paper, with an average world ranking of just over 11, whereas their opponents’ is around 24. But that counts for little once you’re out on the course. Europe’s Robert MacIntyre and Tommy Fleetwood are in their best ever form, the evergreen Justin Rose is an all-time Ryder Cup great, and of course, Rory McIlroy has the talent to win any match. And with the wily, experienced captain Luke Donald going up against newbie Keegan Bradley, Europe hold plenty of great cards. Tune in from 26 September.

Great news for American football fans: Sky Sports is showing more NFL games than ever before this season, with a choice of live games on Sunday evenings – two at 5.30pm, three at 9.15pm – across Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports+, with more action on the Red Zone on Sky Sports Mix, as well as the regular late-night games. Sky Sports is also where you can watch the NFL’s International Series this year, with upcoming games in Dublin, London, Berlin and Madrid. If you’re after tons of gridiron action, there’s one place to be.

So who are the Super Bowl contenders this year? The Kansas City Chiefs have been dominant recently, with three championships in six seasons, but they were thoroughly monstered by the Philadelphia Eagles in February’s Super Bowl LIX and the Eagles will surely be among the favourites again. Star quarterback Lamar Jackson led the Baltimore Ravens to the divisional play-offs last year and with a QB at the peak of his powers, they’ll expect to do even better this time.

But we’re pinning our hopes on the Detroit Lions who, after literal decades without a play-off appearance, are now one of the NFL’s strongest outfits and have a pair of fantastic running backs in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Owned by Ford, they’re not exactly a romantic underdog, but the comeback story is a great one and they represent a part of the US that’s had it tough recently. It’d be amazing to see them succeed. They face the Ravens on 23 September.

What a strange ODI series it was. England were dismal at Headingley, only just missed out on levelling the series at Lord’s and then produced an astonishing record-breaking 342-run win at Southampton. Harry Brook will aim to take that form into three T20 matches against a slightly different iteration of the Proteas: England’s batters will be glad to see the back of Nandre Burger, who put them through the wringer in the first two ODIs, but the South Africans’ T20 squad still contains plenty of danger men including captain Aiden Markram. With the T20 World Cup looming at the start of 2026, England’s white-ball players need to demonstrate a winning mentality if they’re going to make an impact. Could that start here? Find out live on Sky Sports.

Ahead of the summer break, McLaren’s Lando Norris was keeping his team-mate Oscar Piastri honest at the top of the drivers’ championship table with wins in Austria, Britain and Hungary. But when the F1 cars returned to the track Piastri dominated the first race in the Netherlands, winning from pole, while Norris found himself out of the classification after his car let him down on lap 65. We’re sure Norris will bounce back to keep the pressure on: there are still eight races of the season left, starting on 21 September in Baku and continuing with a night race in Singapore. Next up, it’s the Americas leg: Austin, Mexico City, São Paulo and Las Vegas. Follow all the action on Sky Sports.

The competition has been fantastic in the 2025 Super League, with the top teams playing some excellent rugby, but there’s no doubt Hull Kingston Rovers have stood out. As well as capturing the Challenge Cup they’ve maintained impressive consistency throughout the season, with another huge contribution from Man of Steel Mikey Lewis, crucial tries from Joe Burgess and Oliver Gildart, and deadly accurate kicking from French star Arthur Mourgue, plus brilliant defence – only St Helens come close to their record of points conceded.

They nailed their semi-final place in mid-August and right now they’re favourites to win the title for the first time in the Super League era. However, defending champs Wigan and the likes of Leeds, Leigh and St Helens will insist that there’s still a lot of rugby to be played. Leigh face the Saints on 12 September with both sides striving to gain an advantage ahead of the play-offs. All the action is live on Sky Sports.

At the time of writing, St Helens, Wigan Warriors, York Valkyrie and Leeds Rhinos have qualified for the Women’s Super League semi-finals – but with a couple of games left, they haven’t quite sorted out their finishing order. So we know which teams will be involved on 21 September, but we don’t know who’s playing who. However it pans out, it’s been another entertaining season in this ever-improving competition, with Wigan kicker Isabel Rowe outstanding and another string of superb performances from York’s Georgie Dagger, the reigning Woman of Steel.

Leeds Rhinos were on course to defend their 2024 title but a lack of players meant they had to forfeit a fixture and, sadly, were ineligible for the play-offs. That left Halifax Panthers, London Roosters, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC as the top four, with the Panthers looking strongest after they started the play-offs with a big win. Watch the final live on 28 September.

We now know the identity of the eight teams in the NRL finals, and although the Canberra Raiders and Melbourne Storm took the top two places in the ladder to win home advantage in the qualifying finals, it’s fair to say most people are watching to see what Penrith Panthers do next. The Panthers, who were rock bottom as late as round 12 (of 27), powered through the second half of the season. They may have finished only seventh, but with the know-how of four consecutive premierships behind them, they’re a danger to every other team. The finals begin on Friday 12 September with the Storm at home to the Bulldogs, and Sky Sports has every game all the way to the Grand Final on 5 October.

There are just 11 rounds in the NRLW, which means we’re approaching the finals already – and it’s clear that Sydney Roosters are going to take some stopping. They were the first to qualify for the finals and the first to secure a bye to the semi-finals, and they look set to top the ladder at the end of the regular season. With stars like Olivia Kernick, Tarryn Aiken and Isabelle Kelly, they’re one of the best teams to play in the NRLW to date. Can the Sharks take any points off them in their final league match-up? And who can stand up to them in the finals? Every match is live, with the Grand Final on 5 October.

It’s been a noteworthy Rugby Championship for Argentina in particular, who registered their first ever home win over New Zealand when they won 29-23 at the José Amalfitani Stadium at the end of August. That left the entire competition finely poised, with anyone still able to claim the crown. The Pumas will fancy their chances when they visit the below-par Wallabies this month, while New Zealand have two home matches to bank some crucial points.

The final round at the start of October will feature a match staged at Twickenham between South Africa and Argentina – will the title still be up for grabs by then? Tune in to find out and, of course, for some excellent rugby.

After getting off to the perfect start with three wins, Hawke’s Bay lost a couple to slip down the championship standings. Taranaki, based on the west coast of North Island, were one of the teams that leapfrogged them, and the two meet in New Plymouth on 19 September in a match that could have a big impact on this year’s NPC. Before that, North Harbour visit Waikato in dire need of a win following some disappointing results. Don’t miss Sky Sports’ coverage of this high-quality competition.

There’s an unfamiliar look to this year’s Currie Cup final four. The Boland Cavaliers have never won the trophy, while Kimberley’s Griquas haven’t in their current guise (they were “Griqualand West” on their last triumph, back in 1970) and the Golden Lions of Johannesburg haven’t tasted Currie victory since 2015. Could one of these success-starved teams take the title – or will the Cheetahs spoil the party? Find out on Sky Sports.

The tennis tours head for Asia this month with tournaments in Seoul, Tokyo, Chengdu and Hangzhou, before the big one – the China Open, held at the National Tennis Centre in Beijing. It’s an ATP 500 and WTA 1000 event, which means you can expect to see the biggest names in tennis here. The women’s singles title was won by the US’s Coco Gauff last year and since the inaugural staging in 2004, no one has ever managed to defend the title, so Gauff has the opportunity to score an unprecedented victory here. Carlos Alcaraz is the men’s champ after an epic 2024 final against Jannik Sinner.

The countdown to the world championships starts here as Sky Sports’ autumn darts schedule gets under way with the World Grand Prix. Thanks to its unusual double-in, double-out format, it’s one of the most intriguing tournaments to watch: there’s nothing like seeing a top pro get frustrated because he can’t even start scoring in a leg, while his opponent arrows implacably towards zero. Belgium’s Mike De Decker was the surprise winner in 2024 – who will claim the prize this year?
