Tuesday’s Global Football Feast: Cup Clashes, Derby Dramas, and a Channel Guide
A packed Tuesday of cups, leagues, and viewing options across the globe.

Broadcast channels and viewing options

Today offers a rich lineup across major leagues and cups, with fans seeking reliable channels and streaming options from around the world.

In England, the Emirates Stadium hosts the Arsenal vs Chelsea clash in the Carabao Cup semifinal second leg, a tie that could hinge on momentums and late decisions.

In Spain, the Carlos Belmonte hosts Albacete against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal, a fixture that could tilt the tie in either direction.

In Italy, Renato Dal Arà Stadium welcomes Bologna to play Milan in a high-stakes Serie A encounter, showcasing tactical battles and late drama.

France brings a Coupe de France Round of 16 match between Reims and Le Mans, while in Germany a DFB-Pokal quarterfinal pits Bayer Leverkusen against Saint Pauli for a spot in the next round.

Saudi Pro League action includes Damk facing Al-Kholood, with additional fixtures featuring other top Saudi teams as the league moves through its schedule.

In Egypt, the domestic scene sees fixtures featuring the country’s big clubs as part of a busy calendar that complements the European action.

BeIN SPORTS and TOD TV headline traditional broadcasters, while Thmanyah, STC TV, Shahid, and ON SPORT offer regional or streaming options. For fans abroad, Nord VPN remains a popular tool to access regional streams when travel or geo-restrictions get in the way.

Full schedules and channel lists are typically updated by Kooora and partner outlets, so check local listings for precise broadcast times and commentators.

Two quick reminders for the schedule: first, kickoff times are listed in local time zones, so convert if you’re watching from afar; second, if you miss a match, many services offer repeat views or highlight reels to catch up without spoilers.

Punchline time: if football were a dating app, VAR would still be swiping left on suspense. Punchline two: this schedule is so packed, even the calendar needs a red card for overbooking.
