The Premier League’s official match record identifies Everton vs Chelsea as match 2645258 in the 2026/27 competition. The league’s revised October broadcast schedule lists the game for 12:30 p.m. UK time on Saturday, October 17, with TNT Sports coverage. Chelsea’s official match guide also confirms Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool as the venue.
Liverpool will be on British Summer Time (BST, UTC+01:00) on matchday. The United Kingdom’s clocks do not go back until Sunday, October 25, 2026, so October 17 is still within BST. Subtract one hour to convert the kickoff to UTC: the match starts at 11:30 a.m. UTC on Saturday. The conversion does not change the event’s local date. If you are adding it to a calendar outside the UK, use the venue’s confirmed date and time zone so your calendar can apply its own location setting.
These are the scheduled kickoff details, not the time when coverage begins. Chelsea’s audio coverage is scheduled to start five minutes before the match, at 12:25 p.m. BST. Check the official match center on matchday for any later schedule change or the confirmed team sheets.
In the UK, TNT Sports has the live television coverage. Chelsea’s official viewing guide says UK subscribers can also stream TNT Sports through the HBO Max app. Virgin customers who have TNT Sports can use Virgin TV Go. Access depends on the viewer’s subscription and provider.
For live text or audio instead of video, Chelsea’s official app and website will carry match updates and audio commentary through the Everton vs Chelsea Match Centre. The club lists the audio start at 12:25 p.m. BST, five minutes before kickoff. Chelsea says its match center will publish the starting lineups when announced, followed by live text, statistics, and photographs during the game.
Viewers outside the UK should check the Premier League’s country-by-country broadcast-rights page for the authorized broadcaster in their territory. TNT Sports is the UK listing; availability and services differ by country, so UK access should not be assumed to work internationally. Chelsea’s viewing guide also advertises post-match highlights from 4:30 p.m. BST and a full-match replay through CFC+. Check the club’s page for the latest access and timing details.
Chelsea’s Thursday training update, following head coach Liam Rosenior’s pre-match press conference, says Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen will miss the trip to Merseyside. Those are the confirmed Chelsea absences in the latest club update reviewed for this article.
The same update says defender Levi Colwill had returned to first-team training but was not expected to feature on the pitch anytime soon. That is a longer-term recovery note, not confirmation that he is available for this fixture. Chelsea also published photographs of several players taking part in training; appearing in a training gallery by itself does not confirm that a player will start or be selected.
Everton’s official website listed David Moyes’s Friday pre-match press conference for 1:30 p.m. BST. At the time of this update, Everton had not published a confirmed matchday squad or starting XI, and the official material reviewed did not establish a specific Everton injury absence for this game. Treat that as pending information, not proof that the entire squad is available. Check Everton’s official news channels and the Premier League match center after the briefing for any confirmed changes.
The latest Chelsea match-facts page lists no suspensions for the fixture. No projected lineup should be treated as official: only the teams released by the clubs or the league confirm who has been selected. Injury reports, training photographs, and suspensions are different kinds of information and should not be used interchangeably.
The clubs were level on 10 points after six league matches in Chelsea’s official preview published ahead of Matchweek 7. Everton were fifth and Chelsea sixth in that snapshot. Everton had opened the campaign with two wins and four draws and were unbeaten through their first six league games. Chelsea’s official statistics page also notes that the club was looking for consecutive league victories for the first time since its opening two matches. These details offer context, but they do not predict the result.
Everton will have home support at Hill Dickinson Stadium, while Chelsea travel to Merseyside for a fixture that has already had its kickoff time selected for UK television. For anyone planning around the match, the practical details are settled: the game is listed for Saturday at 12:30 p.m. BST, the UK broadcast is on TNT Sports, and Chelsea’s three named absentees are confirmed. Everton’s team news and both clubs’ starting XIs still need to be checked through official matchday updates.
The Premier League match record and its Everton vs Chelsea match page identify the fixture. The league’s October and November fixture amendments confirm the October 17 kickoff and TNT Sports selection. Chelsea’s match viewing guide, Thursday training update, and match facts and statistics provide the viewing details, confirmed Chelsea absences, and current fixture context. Everton’s official website is the source to check for its press conference and any later team news. The UK Government’s clock-change calendar confirms that UK clocks go back on October 25, 2026.
