The Premier League’s revised October and November schedule lists Chelsea vs Spurs at 17:30 BST on Saturday, October 24, as a live Sky Sports selection. Chelsea are the home side and Stamford Bridge remains the venue. The league’s revised fixture announcement is the reference to use if an older calendar or search result shows a different kickoff. The official match page records the fixture as 2645267 in Matchweek 8; the league’s fixture feed confirms 16:30 UTC.
For this fixture, the local time label matters. London is on British Summer Time, UTC+01:00 on Saturday, October 24, so 5:30 p.m. BST converts to 16:30 UTC on the same date. Do not use the GMT offset that applies after the clocks change to convert Saturday’s kickoff.
In 2026, the UK clocks go back on Sunday, October 25. The change takes place at 2:00 a.m., when clocks return to 1:00 a.m. and the UK moves from BST to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). That means the later Sunday fixtures use GMT, but Chelsea vs Tottenham takes place before the change. The UK government’s clock-change guidance gives the 2026 date and explains the BST-to-GMT switch.
International viewers can convert from 16:30 UTC using their location’s time zone on October 24. The local date may differ if the conversion crosses midnight. When saving the match in a calendar, select London or UTC and check the converted date.
Chelsea’s Friday update says defender Malo Gusto is back in contention after missing the previous match. Pep Chavarria and striker Emmanuel Emegha will not be available, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez is also ruled out after jaw surgery. The club says Martínez is expected to miss a few weeks, while Emegha is continuing his recovery. “In contention” means Gusto could be selected; it does not confirm that he will start. Chelsea’s pre-match team update has the manager’s latest comments.
Tottenham report that Pedro Porro is available again and that Andy Robertson is also available after coming off against Coventry. Roberto De Zerbi described Omar Marmoush and Dominic Solanke as fit. Lucas Bergvall, Savio, and Destiny Udogie remain unavailable, and Spurs’ match guide also lists Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, and Mykhailo Mudryk as sidelined. James Maddison’s status remains uncertain: De Zerbi said he had not worked with the team during the first three days after his recent start and that he did not want to take risks. Dejan Kulusevski had worked individually during the early part of the week, so his involvement was not confirmed in the coach’s update.
Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended and serves the second match of a three-game ban following his red card at Old Trafford. That is a confirmed suspension, separate from the players listed as unavailable through injury or fitness. See the club’s latest team-news report and De Zerbi’s pre-match press conference for the distinction between confirmed absences, available players, and decisions still to come. Final team selections should be checked with the clubs when they are announced.
The match is scheduled to air live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. Sky’s listing gives a 5:30 p.m. BST kickoff; UK subscribers can also use Sky Go, according to Chelsea’s official viewing guide. Check the Sky program guide on match day for any last-minute channel or schedule notice.
If you are not watching the live broadcast, Chelsea says its official website and app will provide live text coverage and audio commentary through the match center. Tottenham also directs supporters to its Match Centre for live text and audio. These club channels are useful for lineup announcements and match updates, but they do not replace a live video broadcast.
