Liverpool vs Arsenal 1 Nov 2026: IST & TV

Anfield on the first Sunday in November is the Super Sunday Sky Sports circled when it published its autumn Premier League picks: Liverpool at home to Arsenal, kick-off 16:30 GMT on 1 November 2026. That is 22:00 IST, not 21:00. The UK is on GMT by then, so the familiar 16:30 British hour shifts an hour later for India than the October Super Sundays. In the United States the clocks have also changed, in the early hours of that same Sunday, so the east-coast label is 11:30am EST. Sky’s preview called Arsenal the champions. The table on the morning of the match is a separate document.

Verification note (TheTriFusion editorial): Premier League amendments: Sunday 1 November, 16:30, Liverpool v Arsenal (Sky Sports), with times in GMT from 25 October. Sky Sports’ feature and Radio Times both list 4:30pm on Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and Ultra HD. Venue is Anfield. India: Star Sports and JioHotstar. Sporting News lists Liverpool vs Arsenal among the fixtures Indian viewers search.

The fixture Sky put next to Liverpool vs City

Sky’s October article grouped two Anfield Sundays: Manchester City on 11 October at 4:30pm, and Arsenal on 1 November at 4:30pm. The City match is already previewed on TheTriFusion and was a BST kick-off. The Arsenal match is the GMT one. Between them Arsenal have Leeds at home, Lille at home in Europe, Forest away, and Bayern away in the Champions League on 21 October. Liverpool have Villarreal at Anfield in the Champions League on 20 October, also already on this site, and a trip to Fenerbahçe on 4 November. Both squads arrive at this Sunday with a European week on either side. That is context. It is not a team sheet.

Anfield is Liverpool’s home ground. We are not offering tickets or a travel fare. Supporters with seats should follow the club’s arrival advice for a 16:30 GMT Sunday. Television viewers in India only need the 22:00 alarm and a legal stream.

What “champions” means in the Sky copy

Sky Sports described the 1 November game as Liverpool hosting champions Arsenal. Read that as a reference to the title Arsenal carried into the season, which is how Sky worded its TV picks. It is not a statement of the table on 1 November, and it is not a prediction. Matchweek positions belong on premierleague.com the morning of the game. We will not invent a points gap.

The same Premier League notice puts Newcastle vs Everton on Monday 2 November at 20:00 GMT, which is 01:30 IST on Tuesday. If you are planning a long weekend of league football, that Monday night is a third event. Villa vs Fulham at 19:30 IST on the Sunday is the fourth. None of them replaces Anfield.

A viewer’s checklist that is not a forecast

When the team sheets land, look at who has played in Munich, in Istanbul or at Villarreal in the previous ten days, and who has been held back. That information will be in the club releases, not in this article, because it does not exist yet. During the match the useful pictures are the first high turnovers, the full-backs’ starting positions, and whether either side protects a lead by slowing restarts. Describe what you see. Do not dress it up as a betting angle. TheTriFusion does not run odds.

Publishers should keep three strings in sync: “16:30 GMT”, “22:00 IST”, and the ISO start 2026-11-01T22:00:00+05:30. A page that says 21:00 in the FAQ and 22:00 in the intro will be clipped into the wrong answer by search. We have written the FAQ to the same clock.

Why 16:30 GMT is 22:00 IST

• Date: Sunday, 1 November 2026
• Kick-off UK: 16:30 GMT
• Kick-off India: 22:00 IST
• Kick-off US East: 11:30am EST
• Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
• UK selection: Sky Sports
• Also that Sunday: Aston Villa vs Fulham, 14:00 GMT / 19:30 IST, Sky Sports

GMT plus 5 hours 30 minutes equals IST. 16:30 GMT is 22:00 IST. Do not copy the 21:00 IST label from Liverpool vs Manchester City on 11 October or from Forest vs Arsenal on 18 October. Those kick-offs were 16:30 BST. Same British hour on the clock face, different Indian hour, because summer time has ended.

What is worth a second look

• Freshness after the 20–21 October Champions League week.
• How Liverpool start at Anfield on a 16:30 GMT Sunday.
• Arsenal’s rest defence if they have more of the ball.
• Set-piece routines, visible on the broadcast, not guessed here.
• The Monday Newcastle game only if you still have an evening left.

No score prediction is offered.

Where to watch

India

Star Sports on TV, JioHotstar on phones and smart TVs, for the 2026/27 Premier League. A 22:00 IST start finishes close to midnight. Set the recording if the household cannot stay through added time. Confirm you are on the Liverpool feed and not the 14:00 GMT Villa game, which is 19:30 IST.

United Kingdom

Sky Sports. Radio Times names Main Event, Premier League and Ultra HD for the 4:30pm slot. The early Sky game is Aston Villa vs Fulham at 2pm. TNT is not the broadcaster of this Super Sunday.

United States

11:30am EST. US daylight saving ends at 2:00am on Sunday 1 November 2026, so by afternoon the country is on standard time. NBC, USA Network and Peacock share the rights. Check that week’s assignment before you assume a channel.

Peacock, Sky, Star Sports and JioHotstar are the legal routes named by the rights guides we used. Anything else is a risk to the device as well as a rights problem.

Practical checklist

• Alarm 21:45 IST for a 22:00 start.
• Label the kick-off GMT, not BST.
• US readers: EST, 11:30am.
• Sky in Britain, JioHotstar or Star Sports in India.
• Separate this from Liverpool vs Man City on 11 October.

The weekend this match actually sits inside

Saturday 31 October is Chelsea vs Manchester United at lunchtime and, in other leagues, Bayern vs Dortmund and the Milan derby. Sunday 1 November opens with Aston Villa vs Fulham at 14:00 GMT, 19:30 IST, on Sky, and then this Anfield game at 22:00 IST. Monday 2 November is Newcastle vs Everton at 20:00 GMT, 01:30 IST Tuesday, also on Sky according to the Premier League notice. If you only circle Anfield you will still collide with the rest of the weekend the moment you open a live scores app. Knowing the neighbours stops you treating a Villa goal notification as an Arsenal goal.

Arsenal’s route in is Forest on 18 October, Bayern on 21 October, the league matches in between that the table will show, and then Anfield. Liverpool’s route in is Villarreal at home on 20 October and the league games around it, then Arsenal, then Fenerbahçe on 4 November. Both clubs are in a European sandwich. Commentators will say so. A preview written before those European games are played should not pretend to know who came through them healthy. Leave a blank where the injury list will go.

For Indian viewers, 22:00 is the latest of the familiar Super Sunday hours this autumn. Food, transport and Monday morning all sit closer to the final whistle than they did for a 21:00 October kick-off. If you are watching with children or with an early shift, decide on the replay before kick-off, using JioHotstar’s own catch-up if it is in the package. We will not link a third-party upload.

The phrase “champions Arsenal” in Sky’s TV copy is a label for the title they carried into the season. By 1 November it may still be a fair description of the holders and a bad description of the table. Open premierleague.com that morning. If you quote a points gap, quote it from there with the time you checked. This article will stay silent on the number so it cannot go stale in a dangerous way. Stale clocks are worse than stale tables, but both travel.
