Why isn't Manchester United vs Bournemouth live on TV in UK today?

Ruben Amorim’s side won the Manchester derby last weekend but lost 4-3 to Tottenham on Thursday and face a tough test against an in-form Bournemouth side.

Failure to win would mean United are in the bottom half of the table at Christmas.

Bournemouth can go fifth with a win and it promises to be an intriguing game at Old Trafford.

But supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game.

Why isn’t Manchester United vs Bournemouth on TV in UK today?

The game was originally scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 21 December 2024.

As such, it cannot be shown live in the UK due to the blackout rules imposed across English football at that time – even despite moving due to United playing on Thursday night in the cup.
