The availability of Match of the Day and other football programmes is different to other shows in that the on-demand version isn't available straight away, although听you can use Live Restart if you just missed the broadcast (you can rewind up to two hours when watching live in 大象传媒 iPlayer). The length of time these programmes are available also varies depending on the rights agreements that are in place.
When are they available?听
- Saturday听editions of Match of the Day are available from midnight that night (midnight Saturday/early hours of Sunday)听
- Sunday editions (MOTD2) are on 大象传媒 iPlayer from midnight that night听(midnight Sunday/early hours of Monday)
- When there are midweek episodes, they鈥檒l also听be available from midnight the day听of broadcast听
- Football Focus will be available from midnight on Saturday evening after it鈥檚 shown (the early hours of Sunday morning)
Each episode will be available to stream or download until the next episode is broadcast, or for seven days after broadcast, whichever comes first.
If听an episode is still not available after these times, please check our known issues page听to see if it鈥檚 a known problem.
Why the delay?听
It鈥檚 due to the rights agreement we have with the Premier League.
What about non-Premier League programmes?听
Match of the Day episodes dealing with competitions other than the FA Premier League may have different availability. For example,听UEFA Champions League highlights will be available after broadcast until midnight the following evening.
