Jules Breach presents Getafe v Brighton H.A. from HBO Max and TNT Sports

The fifth edition of the UEFA Conference League returns on Saturday 5 November 2026, with the match between Getafe and Brighton H.A. due to kick off at 20:00 UK time. It promises to be another eventful evening of live football, and once again the broadcasting has been handed to a team that has grown steadily more impressive season on season. Front and center of the whole operation is Jules Breach, who presents the main event from HBO Max in a UK-only feed, while TNT Sports 2 HD carries the same programme for viewers who prefer that world feed.

For those who would rather catch the highlights afterwards, TNT Sports also runs a separate highlights programme on the same night, fronted by the tournament's own commentators. That means the whole evening is covered from two angles: the full live experience on HBO Max and TNT Sports 2 HD, and a trimmed, expertly narrated version for anyone watching from further afield.

The presenter

Jules Breach has been one of the strongest names in football broadcasting for years, and her credentials stretch well beyond this season. She is a British sports broadcaster who has presented live television across a number of platforms, including TNT Sports, Fox Sports, Viaplay and Channel 4, as well as appearing on CBS Sports' UEFA Champions League in earlier years. In her earlier media career she held presenting roles at Brighton's Juice FM, Latest TV and Sky Poker, before moving into the world of football programme presentation on BT Sport and Channel 4.

That breadth of experience makes her a natural choice to anchor a tournament of this size, and TNT Sports has gone so far as to brand her part of one of the strongest football broadcasting teams in the game. With a wealth of world-class pundits and commentators set to feature throughout the season, her presence gives the whole thing a professional, television-quality feel that pure tournament feeds often lack.

The main commentators

Behind the presenter, the live match is being commented by Mike Minay as main commentator and Adam Virgo as co-commentator. The pair will be following the action in real time on both HBO Max and TNT Sports 2 HD, and they will also be the two names driving the highlights programme on TNT Sports, so their play-by-play is what most evening viewers will hear twice over.

Adam Virgo is a particularly fitting figure to have on hand. Born as Adam John Virgo on 25 January 1983, he is a former professional footballer who now works as a player in his own right. He is one of that rarest of things, a public schoolboy who became a professional footballer, and his background as an Albion-supporting player makes him well placed to read the sort of tournament that Brighton H.A. will bring.

Mike Minay rounds out the commenting pair, working in close step with Adam Virgo across both the live feed and the highlights show. Together the two of them give the tournament a coherent, expert voice throughout the evening, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to follow a fast-moving match from home.

The supporting team

Beyond the two main commentators, the tournament draws on a small but capable supporting team. Joel Ward and Steve Sidwell are both on hand as pundits, adding their own read on the play and the players. Steve Sidwell is a former professional footballer born on 14 December 1982, an Englishman who played as a midfielder and was a product of the Arsenal academy. After winning two FA Youth Cups he had constructive loan spells at Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion, though he never broke into the Arsenal first team, and he came to prominence in the Championship with Reading after a January 2003 move.

Joel Ward rounds out the supporting roster as another of the world-class pundits TNT Sports has drawn on for the season, while Phil Kitromilides takes the role of reporter, keeping the camera side of things moving as the match plays out.

Where to watch

The full live match is available on HBO Max in a UK-only feed, alongside TNT Sports 2 HD in the UK for those who prefer that world feed. If you would rather dip in and out, the highlights programme on TNT Sports carries the same two commentators and is worth a watch for anyone who wants the expert analysis without following every knock. With Jules Breach on presentation and a full team of commentators, pundits and reporters in place, this edition of the UEFA Conference League is shaping up to be one of the better-supported tournaments of the season.
