English football fans are asking which channel will broadcast the match between Fleetwood Town and Arsenal in the fourth round of the English League Cup, a game that pits a lower-league side against a visiting team in good form. Arsenal have won four of their last five matches and drawn one, most notably a 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League on 24 October 2026, while Fleetwood Town play at home looking for an upset against one of the elite clubs.
When is the Fleetwood Town vs Arsenal match?
The match will be played on Tuesday 27 October 2026, one day after the date of this data. The time in Morocco and Algeria is 21:00, and in Saudi Arabia and Egypt 23:00. The identity of the stadium has not been specified in the available data, which only states that Fleetwood Town host the match at their home ground.
Key absences
Arsenal go into the match with confirmed absences in their squad, namely:
- B. Saka — injured (muscle injury)
- Christos Tzolis — injured (hamstring injury)
- Louis Copley — injured (ACL injury)
- William Saliba — injured (back injury)
The absence of Saka and Saliba reduces the coach’s options in attack and defence, but the data does not allow measuring their impact in numbers.
What channels are showing Fleetwood Town vs Arsenal in the English League Cup?
According to the official beIN schedule, the match will be broadcast in the Middle East and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, the Gulf) on beIN SPORTS 2, the same channel available in France and Europe for the Arab community. In Germany and Croatia the match will be shown on Arena Sport 1. It should be noted that the channel may vary depending on the package and country, so what is available in one country may not be available in another.
Team line-ups
The available data includes only Arsenal’s last official starting line-up, which they used against Everton on 24 October 2026, and it may change in the League Cup due to absences or the coach’s decisions.
Arsenal’s expected line-up
Formation: 4-2-3-1, with players by position:
- Goalkeeper: David Raya
- Defence: B. White, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel Magalhães, M. Lewis-Skelly
- Midfield: D. Rice, Mikel Merino, Noni Madueke, M. Ødegaard (captain), E. Eze
- Attack: Viktor Gyökeres
This line-up is based on the last official starting XI against Everton, and with the absence of Saka and Saliba the coach may make adjustments in the relevant positions, but the data does not allow nominating specific replacements.
The match is an opportunity for Arsenal to continue their good run, and for the home team to test themselves against a higher-level opponent. Will Fleetwood Town succeed in exploiting the home advantage and crowd pressure, or will Arsenal impose their game despite the absences?
