Burton Albion welcome Bradford City to the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, for their League One Gameweek 12 meeting, kicking off at 7.45pm BST. Sky Sports+ will show the match live in the UK, with several ways to watch online through Sky Sports and NOW.
How to Watch Burton Albion vs Bradford City Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports+ will show Burton Albion vs Bradford City live on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, with kick-off at 7.45pm BST. UK supporters can select the League One fixture through an eligible Sky Sports subscription or stream it using NOW.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the match begins. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
Sky Sports+ carries multiple EFL matches simultaneously. Tuesday’s programme includes several League One fixtures starting at the same time, so viewers should look for Burton Albion against Bradford City within the individual match selection rather than relying on whichever game appears on the main channel.
NOW offers another route without requiring a Sky TV contract. Its Sports Day and Month Memberships include the additional Sky Sports+ streams, while the newer Football Membership also covers EFL action.
A separate programme start time for the Burton-Bradford stream has not been published, so open the match shortly before kick-off.
TV Info: What Channel Is Burton Albion vs Bradford City On?
Sky Sports+ is the confirmed UK TV service for Tuesday’s fixture at the Pirelli Stadium. The match forms part of Sky’s dedicated midweek EFL coverage.
Customers with an eligible full Sky Sports package can select extra EFL matches using compatible Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream equipment. Sky Q viewers can open the additional fixtures through the Sky Sports+ menu.
The dedicated Sky Sports+ channel and the service’s extra match streams are different viewing options. With numerous fixtures taking place at 7.45pm, you may need to choose this game separately.
Burton Albion vs Bradford City Streaming Apps and Device Guide
The Sky Sports app lets eligible Sky subscribers select additional EFL streams on compatible phones and tablets. Find the match in the football section and open its live player.
For NOW viewers, the Sports Day or Month Membership includes Sky Sports+ streams on compatible smart TVs, streaming equipment, computers, phones and tablets. The Football Membership is another option for viewers primarily interested in football.
Don’t confuse NOW’s Sports Mobile Membership with its main Sports packages. The Mobile Membership does not include the extra Sky Sports+ streams needed for this match.

Can You Cast Burton Albion vs Bradford City to a TV?
If your chosen streaming app supports AirPlay or Chromecast on your equipment, start the live match on your phone or tablet and select your TV from the casting menu.
Both devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, watching through a compatible NOW smart-TV app or supported Sky box avoids casting.
For Tuesday’s busy EFL schedule, selecting the Burton-Bradford stream directly on your TV is particularly useful if the main Sky Sports+ channel is showing another match.
