Live on TNT Sports this month: what to watch on TNT Sports in October and November 2025

Even if TNT Sports showed nothing but football, you’d be satisfied with the live action on show in the coming month. That includes – deep breath – the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, Serie A, the men’s and women’s A-Leagues, the US’s NWSL (which reaches the play-off stages in November) and now the men’s and women’s FA Cups too. This exciting line-up of footy will undoubtedly keep you entertained – but there’s more. Much more.

November is international rugby month, with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales all in action, and you can also watch plenty of live games from PREM Rugby and Premiership Women’s Rugby as well. On top of that there’s international cricket, UFC, cycling, rallying, snooker, MotoGP and more, including baseball’s World Series. It’s all live on TNT Sports over the month ahead – scroll down to find your comprehensive guide.

If you’re looking for some thrilling live sport this month, you’ll find it on TNT Sports and our Sports TV Package deals.

Last season’s Europa League final is not a game that will stick in too many non-Spurs supporters’ minds for long, but both Tottenham and Man Utd have made improvements: Spurs under new manager Thomas Frank, United as they gradually adjust to Ruben Amorim’s tactics. So the rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November promises to be a much more exciting affair, with plenty of attacking talent added since that final in Bilbao, including Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Šeško and Bryan Mbeumo for United and Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons at Spurs.

Before that, Nottingham Forest will be looking for their first win under Ange Postecoglou at home to Chelsea, a fixture that ended 1-0 to the away side on the final day of last season and secured the Blues’ Champions League participation. Then there’s a pair of games featuring the newly wobbly champions, as Arne Slot takes his Liverpool team to Brentford before hosting an improving Aston Villa.

The presence of half a dozen English clubs in this season’s Champions League points to possible Premier League dominance but those clubs certainly haven’t had it all their own way. Liverpool lost to perennial dark horses Galatasaray in Istanbul, while Spurs were a little lucky to get a 2-2 draw at Bodø/Glimt after being two down, and Man City conceded a late equaliser against Monaco. Chelsea were well beaten by Bayern.

Newcastle, meanwhile, were impressive in defeat against Barcelona and then put Union Saint-Gilloise to the sword in Brussels, and they’ll believe their upcoming home games against Benfica and Athletic Bilbao are eminently winnable – which would put them in a great position halfway through the league stage. However, Arsenal have been the best English performers with straightforward wins over Athletic and Olympiacos that meant they joined five other clubs on six points after two games.

That group also included Qarabag of Azerbaijan, indicating that there are – truism alert – no easy games in the Champions League. There’s a long way to go before the final standings are decided, so don’t miss the action on TNT Sports.

Nottingham Forest have made heavy weather of their Europa League campaign so far, unable to hold on to a 2-0 lead away to Real Betis and then somehow contriving to lose at home to Midtjylland of Denmark. They need to start winning, and soon, if they’re going to make a mark in this competition – so they could probably do without a match against two-time winners Porto, who have started their domestic season like a train and are the next visitors to the City Ground. A win could kick-start Forest’s season as well as propel them up the Europa table.

Rangers – managerless at the time of writing – are another club not having a great Europa season so far, losing to Genk and Sturm Graz. With Italian giants Roma visiting in November, a result against Brann of Norway is essential. Celtic have just a point from their first two games and face the evidently useful Sturm Graz and Midtjylland this month. No such problems for Aston Villa, though, who are in third after two wins but will need to keep picking up points in this ultra-competitive league.

AEK is one of those football abbreviations you just accept without ever wondering what it stands for, isn’t it? For the Athens club that host Aberdeen in the Conference League this month, it’s Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, or Athletic Club of Constantinople, because it was founded in 1924 by Greek refugees from Constantinople after the Greco-Turkish War. They were champions of Greece in 2023 and should provide strong opposition for Jimmy Thelin’s Dons, who haven’t had a great start to the season.

After a solid 2-0 away win over Dinamo Kyiv, Crystal Palace host AEK Larnaca of Cyprus (in their name the AEK stands for Athletiki Enosi Kition after the ancient Cypriot city-kingdom of Kition). Last season Larnaca were knocked out in Conference League qualifying, so it’s an achievement to have made it to this phase. Palace, who in contrast to Aberdeen have been excellent so far this season, will be confident of three more points as they negotiate their first ever European campaign, live on TNT Sports. Next up, Aberdeen go to Larnaca and Palace host Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

The FA Cup is on TNT Sports for the first time this season, and there are a whopping 11 live matches from the first round proper over the weekend starting on Halloween. This is the stage when clubs from League One and League Two join the competition, and we’re expecting upsets from the non-league clubs.

The Women’s FA Cup has come to TNT Sports too, with the first round proper taking place a week ahead of the men’s competition. It’s at this stage that teams from the third tier enter – 24 of them to be precise, including Premier League-affiliated clubs like Wolves, Fulham, Burnley and Bournemouth, competing alongside the likes of Maidstone United and Millbrook from the women’s seventh tier. On 25 October, TNT Sports is at Middlesbrough of the third-tier National League Premier Division North for their first-round match against Cheadle Town Stingers, who play in the tier below.

With Juventus, Roma, champions Napoli and both Milan clubs getting off to strong starts it’s looking like it could be a very interesting Serie A season, possibly with a title race involving multiple teams. Roma are arguably the surprise package here: the last time they finished in the top four was 2018 and since Jose Mourinho left in 2024, they’ve been chaotic when it comes to coaches, including coaxing Claudio Ranieri out of retirement. Now that Gian Piero Gasperini is at the helm, arriving after a nine-year spell with Atalanta, perhaps they can find much-needed stability. You can watch them against Inter on 18 October on TNT Sports, which has live Serie A football every weekend, with Napoli and AC Milan both on twice in the coming month too.

Washington Spirit, sister club of Lyon and London City Lionesses, were the second team to clinch a 2025 play-off place after Kansas City Current. You can see them against another play-off qualifier, Orlando Pride – where 39-year-old Brazil legend Marta is still a key player – on 18 October. There are plenty more postseason slots up for grabs and Angel City, the team with celebrity owners including Natalie Portman, America Ferrera and Eva Longoria, could still sneak into the top eight with a strong finish to the season. A win in the home game against Portland is vital. The final round of fixtures will be played on the first weekend of November, with the play-offs beginning on 7 November – look out for live games on TNT Sports.

Auckland had a prodigious debut season in the Men’s A-League, finishing top of the ladder in a campaign that included a 14-game unbeaten streak, and six players who made the PFA A-League Team of the Season. But they came unstuck in the finals against the experienced campaigners of Melbourne Victory, who lost the home leg but won 2-0 in Auckland to claim a 2-1 aggregate win. The two meet again on the opening weekend of 2025/26 when the New Zealanders will be out for revenge.

The Victory went on to face local rivals Melbourne City in the final but couldn’t repeat the semi-final comeback: City went 1-0 up early on and held on for a memorable derby win. Having made it to five of the past six A-League Grand Finals, winning two, City are very much the team to beat in this competition. They begin with an away game at Western Sydney Wanderers before hosting Perth Glory and visiting Brisbane as they look to get off to a flyer.

Look out for World Cup winner Juan Mata, formerly of Spain, Chelsea and Man Utd, who’s enjoying a late-career sojourn in the A-League aged 37; having impressed at Western Sydney last season, he’s now with Melbourne Victory. Follow the A-League action with live games each weekend on TNT Sports.

The Women’s A-League kicks off a couple of weeks after the men’s with a home game for Western Sydney Wanderers, who will be hoping their two new Chinese signings – defender Wang Ying and forward Yuan Cong – hit the ground running and help them improve on their bottom-of-the-league finish last season. (At least they can’t end up 12th again, since Western United have sadly been removed from the league and gone into liquidation.)

It was champions Melbourne City who struck arguably the most eye-catching transfer deal of the window, though, bringing in Dan Turner from Aston Villa. Turner won the WSL Goal of the Season award in 2023/24 with an amazing volley against, ironically, her new employer’s sister club Manchester City. The versatile wide player could make her A-League debut against Sydney as City look to repeat their success.

The European rugby nations host visiting teams from around the world in November. First up for England it’s Australia, who managed to avoid finishing dead last in the recent Rugby Championship despite losing four out of six games, followed by Fiji and the All Blacks. Scotland start their autumn by welcoming the USA team to Murrayfield for a fixture that Scotland won 42-7 last time out; New Zealand and Argentina should provide tougher tests.

Wales also face the Pumas as well as Japan, while Ireland’s first opponents are New Zealand – a match-up that’s produced some epic games in recent years, with honours even (four wins apiece) since 2018. Meanwhile Rugby Championship winners South Africa face France and Italy, with visits to Dublin and Cardiff to follow later in the month. It’s all live on TNT Sports.

Saracens and champions Bath both kicked off the new campaign with a pair of bonus-point victories that saw them locked together on 10 points at the top of the PREM table. The season’s first meeting between the two is at the end of November and we can see that one being seismic. Saracens, who have welcomed back Owen Farrell after a year playing for Racing 92 in France, host Sale this month before a trip to Northampton. Having boosted their attacking options with the signing of Argentina full-back Santiago Carreras from Gloucester, Bath visit Leicester and then face local rivals Bristol Bears at home.

Saracens were the last team to retain the title in 2019. So will Bath emulate that feat in 2026, or could Sarries – or another contender – prevent them from securing the trophy again? It’s going to be a thrilling season on TNT Sports.

TNT Sports’ coverage of the new Premiership Women’s Rugby season begins at the home of the champions, which hosts a repeat of March’s grand final. Then, Gloucester-Hartpury crowned their excellent campaign with a dominant 34-19 victory over Saracens that included six tries. Whoever wins this match will strike an early blow in the title race and with England World Cup winners sprinkled liberally throughout both squads, you can expect a high-quality contest. Saracens are back in action on TNT Sports the following week at home to Harlequins, who in turn host Gloucester-Hartpury a week later. Don’t miss it.

Marc Márquez missed out on victory at the Japanese MotoGP as 2023 champ Pecco Bagnaia grabbed the win, but it didn’t matter: the 20 points for second place were enough to secure the 2025 title for Márquez with five rounds to go. It’s an astonishing achievement from the Catalan rider, who last won the championship in 2019, and his brother Álex could yet make it a Márquez one-two if he can stay ahead of Bagnaia, Marco Bezzecchi and the other challengers between now and the season’s final GP in Valencia.

One day, surely, the younger sibling will surge ahead but for now, it’s time to enjoy Marc’s victory lap – while fierce competition continues for the rest of the placings. Tune into TNT Sports this month for live coverage from Melbourne, Sepang and Portimão.

The South American section of this year’s World Rally Championship proved fruitful for the French team of Sébastien Ogier and Vincent Landais, who won both the Rally del Paraguay and the Rally Chile to take the championship lead. But they’re just two points ahead of Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin, the British pair who have led the way for most of the season and will be desperate to leapfrog their rivals over the final three events of 2025.

First up, it’s the Central European Rally, the cross-border event that starts in Bad Griesbach, Germany and ends in Mühltal, Austria, also venturing into Czechia along the way. Neither duo has won the event previously – it only started in 2023 – and claiming victory now would edge either that bit closer to glory. After this, it’s Japan and Saudi Arabia. The latter will be rallying legend Kalle Rovanperä’s final event as he moves on from the WRC.

In Supercars, the first event in the 2025 Finals Series is in Surfers Paradise in Queensland – a home race for Gold Coast-born championship leader Broc Feeney.

It’s been a simply incredible season of World Superbikes dominance from Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, who won every single race in rounds 6, 7, 8 and 9 to take his points total past 500. It’s a testament to Nicolò Bulega’s abilities that he stayed in touch with the Turkish rider, claiming enough second places plus a couple of wins in round 10 to prevent Razgatlıoğlu securing the championship early. Whatever happens at the end of this season – and you can see the final round at Jerez live on TNT Sports on 18 and 19 October – it’s been an epic battle between these two, and one we hope will be repeated next year.

In British Superbikes, Kyle Ryde overtook Bradley Ray in the lead midway through the season – but neither had a great time in the Showdown rounds at Assen and Oulten Park: Ray managed a single race win, while Ryde was unable to do better than two third-place finishes. As they head to the Showdown Finale at Brands Hatch, it’s up for grabs. Leon Haslam, who last won the title back in 2018, still has an outside chance.

In the 32 years since the official Ultimate Fighting Championship began, there have been just three British champions: Michael Bisping, Leon Edwards and now Tom Aspinall. The Manchester heavyweight stepped in for the injured champ Jon Jones at UFC 295 and claimed the interim title, which was upgraded when Jones announced his retirement in June. Now, at UFC 321, Aspinall gets to defend his undisputed belt against the last man to challenge Jones, France’s Ciryl Gane. And because this event takes place in Abu Dhabi, you won’t have to sit up all night to see it – the action starts in the early evening UK time. It is on TNT Sports Box Office, though, so find out how to order it here.

There’s another title bout just three weeks later at Madison Square Garden as welterweight champ Jack Della Maddalena defends his belt against the challenge of Islam Makhachev, who vacated the lightweight title to move up and challenge the Australian. On the same bill is flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko, who faces China’s former strawweight champion Zhang Weili.

With more action on all the weekends around and between the title fights, TNT Sports is the UK home of live UFC so you don’t have to miss a minute.

The 2025 UCI World Tour, which began in January with the Tour Down Under, concludes this month with the Tour of Guangxi, a 1000km six-day event in southern China. A seven-strong Chinese national team will be on the start line, but the focus will be on the leading teams like UAE Team Emirates and Team Visma-Lease A Bike, the latter featuring British riders Thomas Gloag and Dan McLay.

Then TNT Sports crosses the Pacific for this year’s track World Championships, hosted by the Chilean capital Santiago (replacing the original venue of San Juan in Argentina). Great Britain claimed the most medals at last year’s event in Denmark but were kept off the top of the medal table by the Netherlands, who won – argh – one more silver than the British team. The squad hasn’t been announced at the time of writing but Matthew Richardson should figure prominently, as should Katie Archibald, who continues her return to the top level after the freak accident that caused her to miss the Paris Olympics. There are 11 events in both the men’s and women’s categories and you can catch it all on TNT Sports.

The England men’s white-ball team had a decent September (if you pretend that first ODI against South Africa didn’t happen) and after a month with no fixtures, they’re in New Zealand for three matches in each format. Harry Brook leads the squad for the series, starting with T20s in Christchurch and Auckland, and then moving on to Mount Maunganui, Hamilton and Wellington for ODIs. Zak Crawley is in the T20 group for the first time, while recalled all-rounder Sam Curran will get a chance to impress – and perhaps fill the gap left by Chris Woakes’s international retirement. In the back of most of the England players’ minds, though, will be 21 November: the start date for the first Ashes Test in Perth. That series, like these games in New Zealand, will be live on TNT Sports.

Also this month, you can see Australia and India face off in three ODIs and five T20s, before India return home to host South Africa for a two-Test series starting in Kolkata. After facing England, New Zealand have home T20s and ODIs against West Indies – all part of TNT Sports’ live cricket offering.

The Toronto Blue Jays had a moment in the early 1990s, with back-to-back World Series victories in 1992 and 1993, but it’s been slim pickings in the three decades since. Until this year, that is, when they stormed to a 94-68 record to claim the divisional title and then upset the baseball establishment by seeing off the New York Yankees in the play-offs, securing their shot at the American League championship with a 5-2 win at Yankee Stadium.

Third baseman Ernie Clement and first baseman Vladimir Guerrero have been their best hitters in the postseason, while pitcher Trey Yesavage has struck out 11 batters. Could this be their year? Find out with live play-off games on TNT Sports, including the World Series which starts on 24 October. Start times are subject to change; check our weekly live sport round-up for up-to-date details.

Waterfront Hall in Belfast is the venue for the Northern Ireland Open, which marks its 10th staging this year. Antrim’s Mark Allen, who won here in 2021 (when he also scored a 147 break) and 2022, will be keen to add a third title in front of his home fans, while England’s Judd Trump has the best record here with four wins. However, it was Kyren Wilson who claimed the trophy and the £100,000 prize last year, defeating Trump 9-3 in the final. He starts his defence against Oliver Lines in the early session on 21 October. Don’t miss this high-class event on TNT Sports. Then it’s over to Nanjing for the International Championship for another ranking tournament, where Ding Junhui is the holder.

International Championship
Sunday 2 to Sunday 9 November, TNT Sports

It’s been a groundbreaking season for reigning premiers North Melbourne, who have put together a record winning streak – and they’ve done it in style, with victories including a 100-point win over Fremantle and a 68-point defeat of Sydney. Jasmine Garner (who scored the AFLW’s first ever point in 2017), Tahlia Randall and Blaithin Bogue have racked up big numbers as the Kangaroos maintained top spot on the ladder.

But Melbourne and Hawthorn have been keeping pace pretty well, and will be clinging to the hope that North Melbourne have peaked too early as the season heads toward the finals stage. Dedicated fans can see the Demons against the Swans at 3am on 18 October, before a more civilised 9am bounce-up at Brisbane the following weekend. Keep up to date with the action on TNT Sports.
