Watch Charlton Athletic v Norwich City: commentary from Gary Weaver, Andy Hinchcliffe and more

On Saturday 24th October 2026, the English Championship sees Charlton Athletic take on Norwich City, with the two teams lining up at UK 12:30. It is a pair of teams that have history behind them: the research notes make clear that Plymouth Argyle's boss, Steven Schumacher, put out an impressive 6-2 win over Norwich last weekend, so Norwich are entering this campaign well aware that they have a reputation for being a tough opponent to beat.

For those who want the official highlights feed, ITV are carrying the match on their English Football League Highlights channel, with commentary from Gary Weaver as the main commentator and Andy Hinchcliffe standing in as co-commentator, and Jonathan Oakes reporting on the footage.

The Sky Sports channels are also in full swing, with Sky Sports Football HD, Sky Sports Main Event HD and Sky Sports Main Event UHD all featuring the match. The presenter on Sky is David Prutton, while the commentary once again comes from Gary Weaver and Andy Hinchcliffe. Adding to the Sky commentary are several pundits: Steven Schumacher, Jobi McAnuff and Robert Green. Reporting across the Sky feeds, including the Sky Sports News and HD channels, is Jonathan Oakes.

The commentary team

Gary Weaver has been a fixture of the Sky Sports commentary team for some time. He has been a regular guest on the Sky Sports EFL Podcast alongside Jonathan Oakes and Andy Hinchcliffe, reflecting on the opening rounds of seasons and sifting through the best bits from all three leagues. He has worked with David Prutton as well, the pair dissecting hectic weekends of action together and drawing attention to big victories across the campaign.

Andy Hinchcliffe has been equally busy. As one of the Championship pundits, he helped pick his Team of the Season so far back in 2019/20, alongside other experts on the Sky Sports payroll. He has also been seen backing teams ahead of their moment in the arena, making firm predictions about automatic promotion spots and the teams most likely to rise through the ranks.

The pundits

Steven Schumacher brings a particular interest to this match. He has spoken openly about how his side fared against other teams, admitting at one point that the Boro were better than Bolton after being outclassed at home. His presence on the Sky commentary adds a layer of honest, first-hand experience to how the Norwich game is viewed.

Jobi McAnuff and Robert Green round out the punditry, contributing their own read on the field of play as the match plays out across the Sky channels.
