Leicester City welcome Wigan Athletic to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, for a rearranged League One fixture kicking off at 7.45pm GMT. Sky Sports+ is showing the game in the UK, with online viewing options for supporters using phones, computers and compatible TVs.
How to Watch Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports+ will show Leicester City against Wigan Athletic live in the UK, with coverage scheduled from 7.45pm GMT. Sky Sports subscribers with a qualifying package can select the game through Sky Sports+, while NOW Sports offers another way to watch online without a Sky TV contract.
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.
Tuesday’s match was originally scheduled for 26 September before being postponed. It now takes place alongside several other League One fixtures, including Oxford United against Stockport County and Luton Town against Doncaster Rovers.
Because Sky Sports+ carries multiple games simultaneously, viewers should select the Leicester-Wigan fixture specifically rather than opening another live football programme.
TV Info: What Channel Is Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic On?
Sky Sports+ is the UK television and streaming channel for this fixture. It’s part of Sky’s League One coverage, which allows eligible customers to choose individual matches rather than being restricted to the game on Sky Sports Football.
The main Sky Sports Football programme on Tuesday evening is Fleetwood Town against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. Leicester supporters will need to select their team’s separate Sky Sports+ stream.
