The Premier League’s October fixture-amendment notice lists Manchester United vs. Bournemouth at 14:00 GMT on Sunday and names Sky Sports as the UK broadcaster. Manchester United’s fixture information identifies Old Trafford as the venue. The league’s match center uses code 2645273, which is useful when checking the exact fixture in a calendar, search result, or match tracker.
The United Kingdom’s 2026 clock change falls on Sunday, October 25. GOV.UK says clocks go back one hour on the last Sunday in October and that the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time after the change. The Premier League’s schedule likewise says its published kickoff times are in BST through Saturday, October 24, and GMT from Sunday, October 25. This match starts after the change, so Manchester is on GMT (UTC+00:00) at kickoff.
For an international calendar, enter Sunday, October 25 at 14:00 UTC. For someone in Manchester, use 2:00 p.m. GMT. These labels describe the same moment. Do not carry a BST label from a Saturday fixture into Sunday’s schedule: the local clock has changed overnight. If your calendar adjusts time zones automatically, confirm that it shows the event on October 25 and identifies Manchester or GMT as the time zone.
Manchester United’s match-specific travel notice warns of major Metrolink improvement work from October 19 through November 1. It says no trams will run on the Altrincham, Eccles, or Trafford Park lines. Airport and East Didsbury services will run only as far as Firswood, about a 25-minute walk from Old Trafford. Supporters should allow extra journey time and read the club’s full notice before leaving.
The club notice also describes dedicated football shuttle buses to Old Trafford from Manchester city center, Altrincham, and the Trafford Centre, alongside boosted Bee Network bus services. It says Bee Network tickets are accepted on the football shuttles. Because planned transport can change during live operations, check the current Bee Network travel information and real-time updates before setting out, especially if your usual route depends on a tram.
In the UK, Manchester United’s match guide says the game will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event; the Premier League’s fixture notice confirms Sky Sports as the broadcaster. The league schedule establishes the UK listing only. Broadcast rights differ by country, so viewers outside the UK should check the licensed broadcaster in their own territory rather than assume that the UK channel or streaming access applies.
Manchester United’s guide lists MUTV’s Match Day Live coverage from 1:00 p.m. GMT, an hour before kickoff, with guests and live radio commentary. The club also says match statistics and live updates are available through the United app and ManUtd.com. The Premier League match center provides another official place to follow the fixture and check its match information. Check the provider’s own schedule if you plan to watch live video, since a club show or audio commentary is separate from the television broadcast.
Manchester United’s latest pre-match team update says Leny Yoro is available again after serving a one-match suspension for the midweek European fixture. That was a European suspension, not a report of a Premier League ban. Ayden Heaven has returned to the group after illness, and Matthijs de Ligt appeared at Como after a lengthy layoff. Those updates add options but do not confirm that any player will start.
The same United update describes Lisandro Martínez and Marcus Rashford as fitness doubts after they missed the European trip. It says Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Benjamin Šeško seem set to miss out because of injury. Treat those phrases as the club’s latest pre-match assessment: a doubt is unresolved, and “seem set to miss out” is not a published matchday squad.
For Bournemouth, head coach Marco Rose said Eli Junior Kroupi had returned to full first-team training after a metatarsal injury and was in contention to travel, with a plan to give him minutes. That is a positive availability update, not confirmation that he will start or appear. United’s team-news preview says goalkeeper Djordje Petrović was rested against AC Milan and looked likely to return, while Alex Scott was expected to remain sidelined. It also reports that Alex Tóth suffered a hamstring injury against Milan and faces a spell out. Evanilson was withdrawn after a heavy challenge in that match; the preview says it may have been precautionary but does not provide a final fitness decision.
Starting XIs are a separate announcement from these injury and fitness reports. Check the Premier League match center and both clubs’ official channels for the final team sheets and any late change. Availability can shift between a manager’s press conference and the publication of the matchday squad.
