Watford host Southampton at Vicarage Road on Sunday 16 August in the opening round of the Championship, with kick-off at 1.30pm BST. Sky Sports+ carries the game in the UK, with Sky’s online services providing another way to watch away from the television.
How to Watch Watford vs Southampton Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports+ is showing Watford against Southampton live in the UK from Vicarage Road. The scheduled start is 1.30pm BST, and viewers with the relevant Sky Sports package can also follow the match through Sky’s online service.
Sky customers can use the Sky Sports app with their existing account. NOW also carries Sky Sports for viewers using its Sports membership, giving another online route without needing to watch through a Sky box.
TV Info: What Channel Is Watford vs Southampton On?
The UK channel is Sky Sports+, which is carrying every Championship fixture across the opening weekend of the 2026/27 season. Watford against Southampton is one of Sunday’s two televised Championship games and begins before Burnley against West Ham later in the afternoon.
Watford’s own iFollow service does not carry the live pictures domestically for this league fixture, so UK viewers wanting video should use Sky Sports+.
Watford vs Southampton Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Sky subscribers can sign in through the Sky Sports app on a supported phone or tablet, while the web service covers computer viewing. NOW Sports is the alternative route for viewers using a NOW membership.
For a TV, use whichever Sky Sports+ option is supported by your existing Sky or NOW setup. Signing in ahead of the 1.30pm start leaves time to deal with any forgotten passwords or account checks before the game begins.
Can You Cast Watford vs Southampton to a TV?
If the Sky Sports or NOW service on your setup shows AirPlay or Chromecast controls, start the stream first and select your TV from the casting menu. Both devices should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Watching Watford vs Southampton While Travelling
Viewing arrangements change by country, and a UK Sky or NOW account should not be assumed to work identically abroad. Check which broadcaster carries the Championship where you are before travelling.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
Watford iFollow carries domestic live audio commentary, with Geoff Doyle and Derek Payne providing the Watford-focused call through BBC Three Counties Radio. Audio match passes are available separately from the UK television coverage.
A specific full-match replay arrangement has not been confirmed for this fixture. For shorter post-match video, check the clubs’ channels after full-time.

Streaming Troubleshooting
If the picture starts buffering, refresh the player, restart the app and check the connection.
