The pre-season friendly is scheduled for Saturday 8 August 2026, with kick-off at 4:00pm UK time at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg. [3][4][5]MUTV is the main channel listed for the match, and ESPN’s preview also says the game will be available to watch on MUTV around the world, which makes the club’s own service the key broadcast platform for supporters following United from Britain. [3][5] The fixture is part of Manchester United’s summer preparations, while PSG host the Red Devils in a meeting that will also be tracked through live score services and match coverage online.

Liam Bradford, born in 1984, is set to lead the commentary from the gantry. Bradford has become a familiar voice for Manchester United audiences through club media coverage, where clear play-by-play commentary and familiarity with the squad are especially valued during pre-season broadcasts. Ben Thornley, the former United winger and academy graduate, will provide the co-commentary perspective, bringing first-hand experience of life at Old Trafford and insight shaped by his playing career at the club. His background as a United player makes him a natural fit for MUTV’s match-day coverage.
The venue adds another layer of interest for British viewers, with the match taking place in Sweden rather than Paris or Manchester. ESPN’s listing confirms the Ullevi Stadium as the host ground and gives the same Saturday afternoon kick-off in Britain, while Sky Sports’ match page also lists the fixture as a friendly match at 4:00pm. [3][4] That makes the game an accessible early-evening watch for UK supporters, particularly those following United’s summer build-up closely.
For those looking for official club information, PSG’s own match listing also confirms the fixture on 8 August 2026. [2] Manchester United fans who want the clearest broadcast route should therefore look to MUTV, with Bradford and Thornley providing the familiar club-focused presentation that many supporters prefer during pre-season.
