Hearts welcome Rangers to Tynecastle Park on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, for Scottish Premiership Gameweek 11, with kick-off at 8pm GMT. The game is live on Sky Sports Football, and supporters can also follow it online through Sky Go and NOW.
How to Watch Hearts vs Rangers Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports Football is showing Hearts against Rangers live, with its dedicated match programme starting at 7.30pm GMT. The broadcast begins half an hour before kick-off, giving viewers time for the build-up from Tynecastle and Derek McInnes’s return to his former club.
Sky Sports subscribers can watch online through Sky Go, provided their package includes the relevant channel. For supporters without a Sky television subscription, NOW offers Sky Sports memberships, including a day option.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the game. This option is strictly 18+; geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
The important distinction is between the live television programme and the different ways of watching it. Sky Sports Football carries the fixture, while Sky Go and NOW let qualifying customers watch that same match online.
TV Info: What Channel Is Hearts vs Rangers On?
Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Ultra HDR are the confirmed UK television channels. The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 8pm, having been moved from its original 7.45pm slot following its selection for live coverage.
Sky Sports Football begins its dedicated programme at 7.30pm. Sky is also promoting its wider Scottish football coverage from 7pm, but viewers looking specifically for the Tynecastle match should use the Football channel’s 7.30pm listing.
Sky Sports Ultra HDR is an additional viewing option for customers with a compatible television and the appropriate subscription. Standard Sky Sports Football coverage remains available without HDR equipment.
Hearts vs Rangers Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Sky Go is the route for existing Sky customers, while NOW is the alternative for viewers buying a Sky Sports membership separately. Both services carry the live channel online.
On a laptop or desktop computer, use the relevant service’s supported player. For phones and tablets, open Sky Go or NOW, sign in and select Sky Sports Football.
NOW also supports compatible smart TVs and streaming devices. Check that your chosen membership includes Sky Sports before purchasing, particularly if you already use NOW for entertainment or films.
RangersTV has a separate Hearts-Rangers match entry, including live audio. Its club coverage should not be confused with Sky’s UK television broadcast.
Can You Cast Hearts vs Rangers to a TV?
NOW viewers can use a compatible smart-TV app or supported casting option. If your phone and television support Chromecast or AirPlay through the chosen player, start the match and select your TV from the casting menu.
Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Sky Go compatibility can differ from NOW, so check the supported viewing method rather than assuming every phone can cast the match.
Watching Hearts vs Rangers While Travelling
UK streaming arrangements do not automatically carry over when you travel abroad. If you’re outside Britain, check which broadcaster shows the Scottish Premiership where you are and whether your existing subscription permits viewing.
RangersTV also offers match-specific club services for eligible subscribers, with live video subject to location restrictions. Its audio and video options are separate.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
RangersTV has scheduled live audio commentary for Wednesday’s match. Its fixture page includes separate video and radio entries for the 8pm kick-off, with purchase options dependent on your location and account.
For supporters who cannot watch the whole evening, Sky Sports publishes football clips and match highlights through its sports channels and online services.
HeartsTV also maintains a library of full games, goal highlights and interviews. Check the club’s catch-up section after full-time rather than assuming that a highlights clip includes the entire match.
A specific full-match replay release time for Wednesday’s fixture has not been established, so avoid relying on an immediate upload.
