Chelsea face Everton today (Sunday), and they have the opportunity to temporarily leapfrog Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. The Blues are currently two points behind the Reds (but have played one extra game) and are continuing to thrive under Enzo Maresca's leadership.
However, UK-based fans not going to the game and hoping to tune in will be left disappointed as the match at Goodison Park will not be broadcasted on British television. Chelsea have amassed more points away from home than any other team in the Premier League this term, but they'll be looking to overcome their recent struggles at Goodison Park, where they've lost seven of their last 10 visits.
With the title race heating up, Chelsea supporters will be eager to see Maresca's side secure all three points. However, the 2pm kick-off has been sidelined in the broadcasting schedule, much to the disappointment of UK fans.
Why isn't Everton vs Chelsea being shown on TV?
Sunday's Premier League line-up features five matches, three of which coincide with the Chelsea and Everton clash at 2pm. Manchester United will be hosting Bournemouth at the same time as Leicester City take on Wolves, while Fulham and Southampton are also scheduled to play at Craven Cottage.
Sky Sports has chosen to broadcast the clash between Fulham and Southampton, a decision that may be influenced by the requirement for each Premier League team to appear at least once in each TV slot. However, this will change from the 2025/26 season when the broadcaster plans to introduce simultaneous viewing of certain Sunday kick-offs that coincide with the 2pm slot.
For now, UK viewers will have to make do with the early Sunday kick-off between Fulham and Southampton. Unfortunately, a television broadcast of the Everton vs Chelsea match isn't available in the UK, but international viewers need not worry.
How to catch the action
Overseas Premier League TV rights holders can still air the game as they wish, meaning UK fans will be waiting for the likes of Match of the Day 2 on Sunday evening to see the action from Merseyside. Alternatively, short highlights of the game will be available on Sky Sports' Premier League YouTube channel around 20 minutes after full time.
Sky Sports will also show extended highlights, a 30-minute show of the best action from Goodison Park, on Sunday evening.
French broadcaster Canal+ will be showing the game live, while Spanish fans can tune in via Movistar+ or DAZN Spain.
The match will also be live on Sky Sports in Germany, while US viewers can choose to watch the match on either the USA Network, Universo, Telemundo or the NBC Sports app.
