In the midst of another crisis, Manchester United travel to the cauldron that is Elland Road to take on rivals Leeds United in the pick of the Premier League games.
On Sunday, Celtic and Hearts meet for the first time since their dramatic final-day showdown that decided last season's Scottish Premiership title.
Elsewhere, there's action from the Women's Super League, all three EFL divisions and a lot more.
Sky Sports boasts the lion's share of football TV rights for 2026/27, including a huge number of Premier League and Barclays Women's Super League games, as well as a deal that will broadcast more than 1,000 English Football League, Carabao Cup and Vertu Trophy matches over the course of the season.
TNT Sports will show Premier League, Champions League, Europa League and Conference League action throughout next season, with TNT Sports now available to stream via HBO Max in the UK.
