Jagiellonia v Rangers in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday 6 August 2026 will be covered for UK listeners on BBC Radio Scotland Extra, BBC Sounds and BBC Sport Online via audio, with Kenny Macintyre presenting, Liam McLeod as main commentator, Steven Thompson as co-commentator, and Tom English and Andy Halliday as pundits. Rangers fans can also follow the game on Rangers TV, where Tom Miller will be the main commentator.[8][3]
The match is scheduled for 17:00 UK time and is being played at Chorten Arena in Białystok, according to UEFA and match listings.[8][7][9] It is the first meeting between the clubs, with Rangers entering the third qualifying round of the competition.[3][7]
The BBC audio coverage gives Scottish supporters a familiar broadcast team. Kenny Macintyre has long been a respected BBC Scotland sports presenter and reporter, while Liam McLeod is one of BBC Scotland’s best-known football commentators and has covered major domestic and international matches for the broadcaster. Former Rangers and Scotland striker Steven Thompson has become a regular television and radio analyst, adding the perspective of an ex-professional centre-forward. Tom English is one of BBC Scotland’s senior sports journalists, and former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday offers recent dressing-room insight after a career that included multiple spells in Scottish football’s top flight.
On the club side, Tom Miller remains one of the most recognisable voices in Rangers coverage, having narrated countless major European and domestic nights for the club’s own media service. Rangers TV is the only listed live video option for UK viewers in the supplied details, with the match not selected for live television broadcast in the UK.[3]
This tie also matters because the winner will progress to the Europa League play-off round, while the loser drops into the Conference League play-off stage.[3] That raises the stakes immediately for Rangers, who are beginning their European campaign against Polish opposition in a fixture that should attract significant attention from supporters unable to travel.
