Liverpool face Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, in the EFL Cup fourth round, kicking off at 8pm GMT. The match is live on ITV1 and Sky Sports in the UK, with ITVX and Sky Go offering online viewing for supporters using a phone, computer or compatible TV.
How to Watch Liverpool vs Chelsea Live Stream in the UK
ITV1 and Sky Sports Main Event are showing Liverpool against Chelsea live on Wednesday night. ITVX is the simplest online option for UK viewers without a Sky Sports subscription, while Sky customers can watch through Sky Go.
Sky Sports coverage begins at 7pm GMT, with ITV1 starting at 7.30pm. Both programmes lead into the 8pm kick-off at Anfield. In Scotland, STV and STV Player are additional viewing options.
Bookmaker live streaming may also be added closer to kick-off. Eligible active customers should check their provider nearer the start; this option is strictly 18+ and subject to geo-location restrictions and the provider’s live-streaming terms.
Unlike the other Wednesday fourth-round ties on Sky Sports+, Liverpool-Chelsea has dedicated main-channel coverage. That makes finding the match considerably simpler.
TV Info: What Channel Is Liverpool vs Chelsea On?
ITV1, STV and Sky Sports Main Event are the main UK television choices. Sky Sports Ultra HDR and Sky Sports Mix are also scheduled to carry the game on compatible services.
ITV’s programme begins thirty minutes before kick-off. Sky starts an hour earlier, giving its audience a longer build-up from Anfield.
Sky Sports customers need a qualifying subscription to watch through their package. ITV1 and ITVX offer another route without requiring a Sky Sports membership.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Open ITVX and select the live ITV1 channel to watch on a supported phone, tablet, computer or smart TV. Viewers in Scotland can use STV Player.
Sky subscribers should sign in to Sky Go and select Sky Sports Main Event. The fixture is on the main channel, so there’s no need to search through the additional Sky Sports+ streams.
A NOW Sports Membership is another option for watching Sky’s coverage online, although it isn’t necessary if you’re happy to follow the ITV broadcast.
Whichever service you choose, sign in before kick-off. Discovering an app needs updating just as the players emerge from the tunnel is best avoided.
Can You Cast Liverpool vs Chelsea to a TV?
If ITVX, Sky Go or your chosen app supports AirPlay or Chromecast on your equipment, start the Liverpool-Chelsea stream on your phone and select your television from the casting menu.
Both devices should use the same Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, open ITVX or NOW directly on a compatible smart TV, where supported.
Watching Liverpool vs Chelsea While Travelling
If you’re outside the UK, check which local broadcaster shows the Carabao Cup. ITVX and UK subscription services may have different viewing restrictions abroad.

Highlights and replay: Chelsea has scheduled highlights and a full-match replay through CFC+ from 1am GMT on Thursday, 29 October. Liverpool also plans extended highlights and a full-match replay for eligible All Red Full and Video members.
