What changed

Match of the Day on 13 September 2026 featured highlights of two Premier League matches: the Manchester derby at Old Trafford and newly promoted Coventry’s home game against Brighton at the CBS Arena, according to BBC Sport. The 49-minute episode was first shown at 10:30pm and is available on BBC iPlayer for 29 days.

Why it matters

The programme brings together a major established rivalry and Coventry’s return to the Premier League in one highlights package. Its description does not give the scores, scorers or match verdicts, so it records the fixtures covered rather than their outcomes.

What to watch next

The episode’s 29-day iPlayer availability provides a limited catch-up window. The key unresolved details are the Manchester derby and Coventry-Brighton results, which must be checked separately because they are not included in the programme description.
