Watch Coventry City v Fulham on BBC channels with Will Oelrich, Rob Gurney and Charlie Slater
The 2026 English Premier League match between Coventry City and Fulham takes place on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15.00 UK time. It is a big one on the scheduling, and there is no shortage of ways to follow it, from the BBC's studio feeds to talkSPORT and a string of overseas channels. Here is who is commentating and where to tune in.
The BBC feeds
The main BBC channel is BBC CWR, where Will Oelrich is the presenter and Rob Gurney takes the main commentator role, joined as co-commentator by Steve Ogrizovic. Will Oelrich has been a steady presence on BBC CWR over recent months, working closely with Rob Gurney as the BBC CWR sports editor. The pair have already been on record discussing Coventry City's transfers, including the recent announcement that Taiwo Awoniyi has joined Coventry City from Nottingham Forest on nine million pounds, reported on 17 August 2026.
Rob Gurney has been equally busy as BBC CWR sports editor, having written the piece reacting to an Arsenal curtain-raiser and fielding questions from fans ahead of a Cov Store opening. Steve Ogrizovic is the more familiar figure for anyone who knows the Coventry City catalogue: born on 12 September 1957 in Mansfield, he was a goalkeeper from 1977 until 2000, the last 16 years of which were at Coventry City. Nicknamed "Oggy", he holds the record at Coventry City for the most appearances as a player, and cemented his cult-hero status in the 90s. He was a European Cup winner in 1978 and is best known for helping Coventry to their greatest triumph.
