April 2026 brings a relatively light schedule for Premier League top-four hopefuls Manchester United as they face only three league fixtures – all live on TV – after March’s international break.
United registered partial success in March, winning two of their four league matches, before the international break between 23-31 March 2026 halted the club season to accommodate the 2026 FIFA World Cup play-offs.
United return to action from 10 April, with the first weekend of the month reserved for FA Cup fixtures the Red Devils won’t be involved in following a painful 2-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the third round.
The schedule is locked in — here’s your complete guide to which Man Utd games air live on UK TV and where you can watch them. You can also follow Manchester Utd live scores online through FlashScore or the live scores platform of your choice.
Monday, 13 April – Manchester United vs Leeds United
Kick-off: 8:00pm (UK)
Live on: Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League & Sky Sports Ultra HDR
Man Utd’s first match after the international break pits them against bottom-half Leeds United at Old Trafford, whose top-flight status is hanging in the balance despite a two-game unbeaten run.
Despite United’s strong pre-match favouritism, the Red Devils cannot afford to underestimate Daniel Farke’s charges, as the visitors fight tooth and nail to keep their heads above water.
With only four points separating them from 18th-placed West Ham United ahead of Monday night’s kick-off, the Whites will be desperate to avoid defeat at the Theatre of Dreams, just as they did in this corresponding fixture last season.
However, United’s five-game winning streak at Old Trafford can inspire confidence among the Red Devils faithful, as Michael Carrick’s charges bid to lock down a third-place finish for the first time since the 2022/23 season.
Saturday, 18 April – Chelsea vs Manchester United
Kick-off: 8:00pm (UK)
Live on: TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate & HBO Max
Back by David Beckham for a full-time job in Manchester (via The Sun), Carrick will be looking to take another huge scalp when his resurgent side face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in mid-April.
Having already beaten Arsenal and Manchester City since taking over the reins from Ruben Amorim, the 44-year-old should not be fazed by the magnitude of this daunting-looking trip to the capital.
Given Chelsea’s downturn and United’s red-hot form, this seems like a perfect opportunity for the visitors to secure another statement victory and potentially kick the Blues out of the top-four race.
Still, it’s worth noting that United’s last win in West London dates back to February 2020. They have since failed to beat Chelsea in five consecutive away league meetings, including a narrow 1-0 defeat on their last visit in May 2025.
Monday, 27 April – Manchester United vs Brentford
Kick-off: 8:00pm (UK)
Live on: Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League & Sky Sports Ultra HDR
Sky Sports subscribers will be able to enjoy another Monday evening showdown when the Red Devils take on surprise package Brentford in their final April fixture.
Meanwhile, if you’re not in the United Kingdom and still want to support Man Utd down the final stretch of what has been another topsy-turvy campaign, here’s how you can stream live football from wherever you are.
United’s renaissance under Carrick may have made fans forget about a 3-1 debacle in September’s reverse fixture, but Bruno Fernandes and his teammates will be keen to set the record straight this time around.
Fresh off being named the club’s ‘Player of the Month’ for March, Fernandes will be eager to pick up where he left off when the 20-time English champions resume their top-four quest in April.
