Middlesbrough host Charlton Athletic at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, 31 October 2026, in Championship Gameweek 13, with kick-off at 3pm GMT. Here’s the UK television situation, what to check for online viewing and how to follow Saturday’s action from your phone or computer.
How to Watch Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic Live Stream in the UK
Middlesbrough against Charlton is not scheduled for live UK television on Saturday. The Championship fixture kicks off at 3pm, inside the broadcasting blackout that covers domestic matches between 2.45pm and 5.15pm.
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.
There is an important distinction between the Sky Sports television schedule and other online listings. A fixture appearing on a bookmaker’s football page does not, by itself, mean that live pictures are included. Look for a specific video or play control attached to the Middlesbrough-Charlton match.
Without live pictures, supporters can follow events at the Riverside through a live match centre, which tracks the score and major incidents as the afternoon develops.
TV Info: What Channel Is Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic On?
Neither Sky Sports Football nor Sky Sports+ is scheduled to show this fixture live in the UK. Middlesbrough’s home match retains its Saturday 3pm kick-off, rather than moving into one of the broadcaster’s selected television windows.
Sky Sports is showing Championship football earlier on Saturday, with Stoke City against Preston North End scheduled for 12.30pm on its main channels. That lunchtime broadcast does not extend to the Riverside fixture.
There is also no published UK television programme start time for Middlesbrough against Charlton.
Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Sky Go and NOW carry Sky’s selected EFL matches, not every Championship fixture. Middlesbrough against Charlton is outside Saturday’s UK live selection, so signing in to either service will not reveal a separate Sky Sports+ stream for the 3pm game.
If a participating bookmaker adds live pictures, check its match page on a computer or supported phone or tablet. Eligible active customers should complete any necessary account checks before kick-off. Bookmaker streaming is strictly 18+, subject to location restrictions and the provider’s live-streaming terms.
For score updates, a live match centre works on mobile or desktop without requiring a television player.
Can You Cast Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic to a TV?
If a permitted viewing service supports AirPlay or Chromecast, open the match on your phone or tablet and select your TV from the casting menu.
Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Casting support differs between services, and some restrict playback on external screens.
Watching Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic While Travelling
If you’re abroad, check which broadcaster carries the Championship where you are. Paramount+ is listed as a viewing option in the United States for this fixture, but UK services and overseas services have different match schedules.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT in Middlesbrough. Supporters travelling overseas should convert that to their local time before checking the broadcaster’s event listing.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
Sky Sports publishes EFL highlights through its website and football video channels. The EFL also publishes Championship footage after matches, offering a way to see the main incidents from the Riverside once Saturday’s action has finished.
Highlights contain selected passages of play rather than a complete recording. There is no confirmed match-specific full replay time or named live audio service for this fixture.
Manager Head-to-Head Stats
Charlton’s Nathan Jones has managed 493 career matches, compared with 217 for Middlesbrough’s Kim Hellberg. Their overall win rates are 42% and 47% respectively.
Hellberg has managed Middlesbrough since November 2025, recording 23 wins in his first 48 matches. Jones took charge of Charlton in February 2024 and has overseen 136 games, winning 54. Hellberg prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Jones favours 3-5-2.
