Why isn’t Manchester United vs Leicester on TV in the UK?

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 30: Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United (C) dribbles Boubakary Soumaré of Leicester City (R) during the Carabao Cup Fourth Round match between Manchester United and Leicester City at Old Trafford on October 30, 2024 in Manchester, England.

Manchester United host Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday in the Premier League, with the game kicking off at 2pm.

Fans in the UK, however, won't be able to watch the match live on TV, despite it falling outside of the traditional 3pm Saturday blackout time. That means Manchester United fans are unable to see Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game in temporary charge of the Red Devils, while Leicester supporters don't have the opportunity to watch their side potentially climb above United in the table.
