How to watch Arsenal vs Fulham tonight with game not on TV
by George Ratcliffe · Wales OnlineArsenal are set to host Fulham on Tuesday night in the Premier League as they hope to keep the pressure on leaders Liverpool.
Currently sat 12 points adrift from the champions-elect, the Gunners must take victory tonight after only managing two wins in their last five games, since their 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City back in February.
Their last league game saw them beat Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a goal from Mikel Merino. Arsenal will be hoping to take a more comfortable win this time around but face a tricky test against a Fulham side hoping to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Marco Silva’s Cottagers currently sit three points adrift from a Europa League spot and a win tonight would see them jump to sixth place. So with lots on the line for these two teams, UK fans hoping to catch the action will be disappointed, and here’s why.
Why isn’t Arsenal vs Fulham on TV?
Two other games also take place tonight, with the 8pm clash between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest being picked for airing by TNT Sports, while both 7:45pm kick-offs - Wolves vs West Ham and Arsenal vs Fulham - won’t be shown.
Sky Sports have elected to show the other midweek fixtures, starting with the Merseyside derby tomorrow (Wednesday) and Chelsea vs Tottenham on Thursday.
Fortunately, starting next season this will no longer be an issue for fans as the Premier League’s new TV deal guarantees that all matches that aren’t scheduled for a 3pm Saturday kick-off will be shown live.
So, where can you catch Arsenal vs Fulham?
Unless you have a ticket to the stadium, UK fans won’t be able to watch along live. But international viewers can tune in via their local Premier League TV rights holders.
Fans from the US have two options, either with Peacock or NBC Universal, who hold the rights to all 380 Premier League games this season.
Australians can watch the game on Optus Sport while Canadians can see it on fuboTV.
UK fans will have to wait until 20 minutes after full time for Sky Sports to post their three-minute highlights on YouTube and the Sky Sports app.
A longer highlights package will be available on Sky Sports later on in the evening or on BBC One’s Match of the Day which will air at 10:40pm on Wednesday.
