Old Trafford’s first November European night in this league phase is Manchester United vs Roma, and the Indian kick-off is later than the October habit. Matchday 4 is Tuesday 3 November 2026. The evening wave is 21:00 CET, which is 20:00 GMT and 01:30 IST on Wednesday 4 November. October’s 21:00 CEST games were 00:30 IST. The clocks went back on 25 October, so the same European hour is an hour later in India. Roma were the side who hosted Real Madrid on 14 October. This is the return fixture in the sense of a new opponent for United, not a second leg.

Verification note (TheTriFusion editorial): UEFA Matchday 4 lists, via AS USA and Transfermarkt’s 3 November sheet, put Manchester United vs Roma in the 21:00 / 3:00pm ET wave. Wikipedia’s league-phase page dates it 3 November. Venue is Old Trafford. Europe is on CET. India: Sony Sports and SonyLIV through 2026/27. UK: TNT Sports. US: Paramount+, confirm the grid. The 12:45pm ET games that day are a different band.

United’s autumn, in order

United’s televised run into this night, from sources already on this site or in the Premier League list: Tottenham at home on 10 October, Atlético away on 13 October, Leeds away on 18 October, Bournemouth at home on 25 October, Chelsea away on 31 October, then Roma at home on 3 November. That is a sequence of confirmed dates, not a comment on fatigue science. It does explain why the manager will be asked about rotation. The answer is not yet confirmed, and neither is the team.

Roma’s Matchday 2 home game was against Real Madrid on 14 October at the Stadio Olimpico, previewed separately. Their Matchday 4 trip is Old Trafford. Different competition week, different country. Do not describe this as a second leg. The league phase does not use home-and-away ties in that knockout sense.

What Old Trafford changes about the viewing

For people in the ground, a 20:00 GMT Tuesday means a Manchester weeknight. We have no ticket advice beyond “use the club”. For people in India, 01:30 IST on a Wednesday is a work-night decision. If you cannot stay up, look for the licensed replay on SonyLIV the next day rather than a live illegal stream you will abandon at half-time.

Watch points that do not require a prediction: whether United start with the same shape they used at the weekend at Stamford Bridge, how Roma set up away from home, and the first set piece at the Stretford End. You will know the answers at 01:40 IST. You do not know them now.

Pages that should not be merged

Search demand for “Man United Roma” will also surface the October Atlético game and the Chelsea league game. The URL of this article is specific. If you cite it, cite 3 November, Old Trafford, 01:30 IST Wednesday. The schema start is 2026-11-04T01:30:00+05:30.

Same-night company is Barcelona vs Aston Villa at Camp Nou and Atlético vs Bayern at the Metropolitano, both in this 21:00 CET list. A fan who supports United and also wants the Madrid game has a conflict. The schedules are the facts. The choice is personal.

The November IST shift

  • Local date: Tuesday, 3 November 2026
  • Kick-off: 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT, 3:00pm EST)
  • Kick-off India: 01:30 IST, Wednesday 4 November 2026
  • Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester
  • Round: UCL league phase, Matchday 4
  • Not this match: Atlético vs United was 13 October

CET is UTC+1. 21:00 CET is 20:00 UTC and 01:30 IST the next day. If you reuse an October calendar entry that says 00:30 IST for “United in Europe”, you will be an hour early and the stream will not have started.

A short, honest watch list

  • The XI, from the club, not from a leak.
  • Roma’s away block and United’s first wave of pressure.
  • How many changes from Chelsea on 31 October.
  • The other 01:30 IST games only if you have a second screen and a second legal login.
  • Added time as it happens.

No odds.

Where it is on

India

SonyLIV and Sony Sports. Log in on Tuesday evening. The same 01:30 IST wave includes Barcelona vs Aston Villa and Atlético vs Bayern. Pick the Old Trafford feed on purpose.

United Kingdom

20:00 GMT on TNT Sports. Discovery+ / HBO Max branding: confirm that afternoon. This is not a Premier League Sky broadcast.

United States

3:00pm EST. US clocks have been on standard time since 1 November. Paramount+ is the UCL home. Confirm the channel.

Licensed apps only.

Practical checklist

  • Wednesday 01:30 IST, not 00:30.
  • Old Trafford, United at home.
  • SonyLIV, TNT, Paramount+.
  • Not a second leg of Madrid.
  • Not the Atlético match from October.

Old Trafford in November, after the clocks

United’s home European night against Roma is easy to file next to the October trip to Atlético and then mis-time. Atlético was 21:00 CEST, 00:30 IST. Roma is 21:00 CET, 01:30 IST. The face of the European clock says 21:00 both times. India does not. If your phone still has a recurring event called “United UCL 12:30am”, delete it and make a new one for 4 November at 01:30. Recurring events are how clock-change weekends go wrong.

The league match four days earlier is Chelsea away, 31 October, 12:30 GMT, 18:00 IST, on TNT in Britain. Then this, on TNT as well if you are in the UK, because European nights are TNT’s, while the Chelsea league game is also TNT’s lunchtime selection. A UK viewer might be on the same broadcaster for both. An Indian viewer is not: Premier League on JioHotstar, Champions League on SonyLIV. Two apps, two logins, one club. Set them up on the Tuesday afternoon, not at 01:20 IST.

Roma arrive from a Matchday 2 night that was their own home game against Real Madrid, 14 October, Stadio Olimpico. They are not “the team who just played Madrid” in any selection sense we can prove from a September desk. They are the team whose October home date was Madrid and whose November away date is United. That is the whole factual link. It is enough to explain why both club names are already in people’s search history.

Same-whistle alternatives are Barcelona vs Aston Villa and Atlético vs Bayern. If the house is divided, the legal answer is still one feed per login. Highlights on SonyLIV the next day cover the games you did not choose. There is no sporting duty to watch three matches badly. Watch Old Trafford properly or watch Madrid properly. The previews exist so the choice is informed, not so that anyone stays up for all of them.

One more United trap sits on the following weekend, outside the strictest reading of this tie but inside the searches. The Premier League’s November notice has Manchester United vs Aston Villa on Sunday 8 November at 16:30 GMT, 22:00 IST, on Sky. That is a league game at Old Trafford, five days after Roma. Villa, meanwhile, are at Camp Nou on this same Tuesday. So “Villa and United in November” is two matches: Villa at Barcelona in Europe on the 3rd, United vs Villa in the league on the 8th. If you only remember one, you will brief the wrong competition. Write both down or write neither.
