The New Saints are scheduled for three televised Cymru Premier fixtures this autumn as part of the 2026-27 broadcast schedule confirmed by S4C and BBC Cymru Wales. This news comes with the club in strong early form, sitting second in the Premier League with 10 points from four games.
Both broadcasters have secured new three-year agreements with the Football Association of Wales. S4C has renewed its commitment, while the BBC's new deal guarantees a minimum of 20 live games per season on BBC iPlayer through to 2029. Every league match remains available via the Cymru Football TV streaming service, with selected games also on S4C Clic and Sgorio's YouTube channel.
The New Saints have three confirmed selections in the Sgorio and BBC schedule between now and New Year's Day. Their first televised outing is a BBC Cymru Wales broadcast away to Caernarfon Town on Monday, 31 August at 15:00. They then host Barry Town United on Saturday, 5 September in a match set for Sgorio coverage. A key fixture follows on Saturday, 19 September at 17:30, also on the BBC, when The New Saints welcome Llandudno to Park Hall.
A major Halloween clash is also on the horizon, though not yet confirmed for TV. The Saints host Connah's Quay Nomads at Park Hall on 31 October, a match that will see the second-placed side take on the team currently fourth. Fans can track all upcoming dates on our fixtures page.
The Sgorio programming on S4C has a packed run of 12 confirmed fixtures from 28 August to 1 January. The schedule kicks off with Trefelin against Ammanford on Friday, 28 August. Other highlights include Haverfordwest County versus Briton Ferry Llansawel on 11 September, Flint Town United hosting Colwyn Bay on 10 October, and a Boxing Day derby between Trefelin and Briton Ferry Llansawel. The televised action rounds off on New Year's Day with Colwyn Bay against Caernarfon Town at 17:15.
Colwyn Bay emerges as the early schedule's most featured team, involved in four confirmed televised fixtures including their August 15 match. Haverfordwest County also appears three times in the Sgorio selections. The BBC's coverage began on 15 August with Barry Town United against Cardiff Met and includes further games like Penybont v Colwyn Bay on 5 September.
The broadcast schedule arrives with The New Saints in a commanding position. They are second in the Cymru Premier, just two points behind leaders Barry Town. Their record is impressive: three wins, one draw, and zero defeats from their opening four matches, a run of form charted as WWWD. They are the only team in the division yet to concede a goal, with eight scored for a +8 goal difference. This defensive solidity provides a strong foundation for their upcoming televised appearances. The latest league standings are always available on our standings page.
Supporters have multiple options to follow The New Saints and the rest of the league. The primary live broadcasts will be on S4C's linear channel for selected matches and on BBC iPlayer for the BBC's picks. Every single Cymru Premier fixture is streamed live via the subscription-based Cymru Football TV service. For on-demand viewing, highlights and some full matches will be accessible on S4C Clic and the Sgorio YouTube channel after the live events.
The confirmed TV slots offer a chance to show The New Saints' title challenge to a wider audience. With a perfect defensive record and an attack that has found the net eight times, the upcoming matches against Barry Town United and Llandudno are significant opportunities to close the gap at the top. The focus then shifts to that key Halloween meeting with Connah's Quay Nomads, a fixture that could have major implications in the early title race.
