Help and questions

There are three usual reasons, and they are genuinely different problems.

Nobody bought the rights there. A competition sells its coverage territory by territory. Smaller markets are sometimes left without a buyer for a season.

The rights exist, but this fixture was not picked. Most contracts cover a set number of live matches per season rather than all of them. The rest are played without cameras, or appear only as highlights.

A scheduling rule blocks it. The best-known is the Saturday afternoon blackout in the United Kingdom, which exists to protect attendance at lower-league grounds — we explain how that rule works.

Rights are sold in cycles, usually three years. When a cycle ends the competition runs a fresh auction and the winner can change, which is how a competition moves between broadcasters with no warning to viewers.

It is also the honest reason a site like this one has to carry dates. A listing that was right in one season can be wrong in the next, so every listing we publish says when a person last confirmed it.

For the same reason as sport, on a shorter cycle. Streaming rights are licensed per country and often for a fixed window, so a title can leave one service and appear on another partway through a year, or be available to buy in one country and only to rent in the next.

The longer explanation is here.

Times are published in the competition's local time and converted from there. The catch is daylight saving: it starts and ends on different dates in different countries, so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the gap between two countries is an hour off what people are used to.

Worked examples are here.

Broadcast rights are checked by hand against the rights holder's own listing wherever possible, and each carries the date someone last confirmed it. The most recent check anywhere was 2026-07-31.

Film and television availability comes from TMDB's watch-provider data, which is powered by JustWatch and covers well over a hundred countries. Fixtures, squads and results come from TheSportsDB.

It depends on what is being asked, and the honest answer is that the parts move at different speeds. Film and television availability is refreshed every six hours. Reference data — competitions, teams, people — changes rarely and is held for days at a time.

Broadcast rights are the slowest and the most human: they change by rights cycle, not by minute, so they are verified by a person rather than polled. We would rather show a date and let you judge it than imply a freshness we do not have.

That a person opened the broadcaster's own schedule on that date and confirmed the listing was still correct. It is not the date the page was built, and not the date the data was fetched. Where no date is shown, we have not checked it, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

No. It lists where things are shown. It transmits no video, sells no subscription and bundles nobody's channels. If you find a site claiming to be us and offering streams, it is not us.

Our film and television source provides availability but not per-title play links, so a "watch now" button would have to be guessed. A link that lands on the wrong page, or on a service you are not signed in to, is worse than naming the service and letting you open it yourself.

Because the answer depends on it. Where we have not been able to work out the country, the site says so rather than assuming, and you can set it yourself from the control in the heading on the home page. That choice is stored in your own browser.

Please do — a wrong listing is the worst thing this site can publish. Send us the competition, the country and what you are seeing, and it goes to the top of the queue to be re-checked by hand.
