Watford host Lincoln City at Vicarage Road on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, in Championship Gameweek 14, with kick-off at 7.45pm GMT. Sky Sports+ will show the match live in the UK, with online viewing through the Sky Sports app and NOW for eligible subscribers.
How to Watch Watford vs Lincoln City Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports+ is showing Watford against Lincoln live, with television coverage scheduled from 7.40pm GMT. The match kicks off five minutes later, and subscribers can watch through their Sky TV service, the Sky Sports app or NOW.
Bookmaker live-streaming listings also identify this fixture as an online viewing option for eligible active customers. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply, so check your provider’s current eligibility requirements before watching.
There are seven Championship fixtures kicking off at 7.45pm on Tuesday, so Watford-Lincoln has an individual Sky Sports+ selection. It is not the featured match on Sky Sports Main Event, which is showing West Bromwich Albion against Southampton later in the evening.
NOW also advertises the Watford match separately, with its online event listing opening at 7.30pm. That is earlier than the 7.40pm programme time in Sky’s TV schedule; it doesn’t mean kick-off has changed.
TV Info: What Channel Is Watford vs Lincoln City On?
Sky Sports+ is the UK TV destination. Watford-Lincoln is included among Tuesday’s Championship selections rather than occupying the main Sky Sports Football channel.
Sky customers need a qualifying sports package to use the relevant Sky Sports+ stream. If your TV service offers a match-selection menu, choose the Vicarage Road fixture directly instead of leaving the television on the main channel.
For those without a Sky TV subscription, NOW carries the match through eligible Sports memberships. The service lists Watford against Lincoln under its live football schedule.
Watford vs Lincoln City Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Use the Sky Sports app or NOW to find the individual Watford-Lincoln stream. Sky Sports+ fixtures are selectable separately, which matters on a night when several Championship matches are taking place simultaneously.
On a laptop or desktop, sign in through your service’s web player. The relevant app also works on supported phones and tablets, while NOW offers viewing on compatible smart TVs and connected devices.
If you’re using NOW, check that your membership includes Sky Sports+ football before opening the match. The dedicated event listing is the quickest way to avoid selecting another Tuesday fixture.
Can You Cast Watford vs Lincoln City to a TV?
If your app and television support AirPlay or Chromecast, open the match on your phone or tablet and select the TV from the casting menu.
Both devices need the same Wi-Fi connection. A compatible NOW TV app or Sky television service may be simpler if you’re watching the whole game from home.
Watching Watford vs Lincoln City While Travelling
If you’re abroad, check which broadcaster shows the Championship where you’re staying. The Sky Sports+ arrangement is for UK viewers, while international coverage differs by country.
Viaplay is among the services carrying the fixture in several Nordic countries, including Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Don’t assume your UK Sky or NOW membership includes viewing rights while travelling.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
Watford’s club service and app offer live audio commentary options for supporters. Club listening arrangements are separate from the Sky Sports+ video stream, so check the audio service before purchasing or signing in.
Sky Sports Football and club channels are useful places to find highlights after full-time. Short highlights clips are not the same as a recording of the entire match, and a specific full-match replay release time hasn’t been established.
Manager Head-to-Head Stats
Watford boss Alessio Dionisi has managed 437 career matches, with 160 wins and 137 draws. Lincoln manager Chris Cohen favours a 3-4-2-1 formation, while Dionisi’s preferred shape is 4-3-1-2.
Lincoln’s manager record is not included in the current career comparison.
Dionisi took charge of Watford in June 2026 and has recorded four wins, two draws and nine defeats across his first 15 matches. His wider managerial career includes spells with Sassuolo, Palermo and Empoli.
Key Player Stats
Lincoln’s Reeco Hackett-Fairchild has recorded 3.11 expected goals (xG), followed closely by Ben House on 3.04. Watford’s highest individual xG figure belongs to Luca Kjerrumgaard at 1.76.
Expected goals measure the quality of scoring chances rather than actual finishes. Watford’s leading league scorer is Amin Nabizada with three, while Lincoln’s Ladefoged also has three.
Team Key Stats
Both clubs have conceded 23 Championship goals in 13 matches, although Lincoln have kept four clean sheets compared with Watford’s one. The Imps have scored two more goals despite averaging less possession.
Watford lost 3-2 at Norwich on Saturday after leading 2-0 at half-time. Lincoln were beaten 3-1 at home by Birmingham, having defeated Burnley 4-1 in their preceding Championship fixture.
Quick Facts
Watford manager Alessio Dionisi expressed his frustration after Saturday’s defeat at Norwich, when his side surrendered a two-goal half-time advantage:
“Football is crazy… but in this case, it’s difficult to explain, and I’m furious. I’m furious for this result, I’m furious for my players and I’m furious for me, because it’s impossible to lose in 50 minutes when, at the end of the first half, the score was 2-0.”
