The Premier League clash between Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion is set to kick off at 3.00pm today at Turf Moor. This match is a vital part of the top-flight football returns schedule following the recent international break, with both teams looking to secure crucial points for their respective end-of-season targets.
You cannot watch Burnley vs Brighton live on TV in the UK today. The match falls within the Saturday 3.00pm window, meaning it is governed by the Saturday blackout, those fixtures are legally prohibited from being televised domestically to encourage fans to attend games in person across all leagues.
While TV coverage is blocked, fans can tune in to live audio commentary of the game. National and local stations provide updates, though BBC Radio 5 Live is focusing on Brentford vs Everton today, so check BBC Radio 5 Live or local BBC stations for dedicated match-long coverage from the stadium in addition to radio coverage from each club’s website.
No official UK streaming platform, including Sky Sports, TNT Sports, or Amazon Prime, will show the game live. Even with the integration of TNT into the HBO Max UK platform, the 3.00pm blackout applies to digital broadcasts just as strictly as traditional TV to maintain the integrity of the live football experience.
The first chance to see the goals on television will be tonight on BBC One’s Match of the Day. This remains the most popular way to see the latest Premier League goals and action for free, with the program scheduled to start at 10.25pm.
While current rules prevent today’s broadcast, the Premier League has recently made a major announcement teasing a possible end to the blackout. However, for the 2025/26 season, the domestic blackout remains in effect, and fans must still navigate the traditional split of rights between major broadcasters for any televised matches.
