Reading v Leicester: TV channel and kick-off time

Reading v Leicester kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday 19 December 2026. Saturday 3pm kick-offs in the English leagues are not shown live in the UK, so it won't be on TV unless it is moved.

Why it isn't on TV

No live football is shown in the UK from 14:45 to 17:15 on a Saturday, to protect attendances across the leagues. Broadcasters can move a match out of that slot to show it; if this one moves, its new time and channel appear here.
