This week on Stan Sport (18 September 2025) – European football is now in full swing with Europe’s top clubs starring across the Premier League and UEFA Champions League this week, Alex de Minaur lines up alongside Team World at the Laver Cup, and the Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-finals kick off.

All the action. Live & On Demand.

MATCHWEEK 5

LIVERPOOL V EVERTON
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE IN 4K UHD ON STAN SPORT FROM 8:30PM AEST

The Merseyside Derby is one of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in world football, so expect plenty of spice in this early kick-off. A reinvigorated Jack Grealish will look to inspire Everton to ruin table-topping Liverpool’s perfect start to the season. This match could also feature the unleashing of Liverpool’s new Swedish striker Alexander Isak – the world’s third-most expensive signing ever at a reported £125 million (A$255m).

BURNLEY V NOTTINGHAM FOREST
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 11:50PM AEST

Ange Postecoglou could hardly have had a tougher first match last week in an away loss to Arsenal, but this match against newly-promoted Burnley should provide a clearer picture of how well Forest are adapting to ‘Angeball’. Burnley, though, gave a defensive and organisational masterclass last week against Liverpool, only to be undone by a last-gasp Mohamed Salah penalty. They will be desperate not to drop more points.

MAN UNITED V CHELSEA
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE IN 4K UHD ON STAN SPORT FROM 2:20AM AEST

With one win, one draw and two losses, the heat is already on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. There have been promising signs, mainly with star signing Bryan Mbeumo, but time to gel is a luxury they won’t be afforded.

Chelsea have had easier fixtures but are undefeated in the league. New signing João Pedro has led the attack admirably in the absence of superstar Cole Palmer, who made a goal-scoring return from injury off the bench last round.

ARSENAL V MAN CITY
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE IN 4K UHD ON STAN SPORT FROM 1:20AM AEST

This match already looks like it has title implications. Arsenal’s new signings are settling better than any in the league, and – a harsh loss to Liverpool aside – Mikel Arteta’s men have looked imperious. It’s been a topsy-turvy start for Man City, with two big wins sandwiching two surprise losses, but star striker Erling Haaland is already topping the scoring chart with five goals. These clubs also have some bad blood following some testy matches last season, as if fans needed anymore reason to watch.

MATCHDAY 1

LIVERPOOL V ATLETICO MADRID
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:55AM AEST

Liverpool have had a red-hot start to the Premier League season, with Arne Slott’s men a perfect 4-0 so far. They get their Champions League account underway against the perennially tough Atletico, who haven’t had quite as ideal a start to their 2025-26 campaign, but are always dangerous.

While they have lost their last two meetings to Liverpool, Atletico do take solace in the fact that they knocked their opponent out of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League season.

BAYERN V CHELSEA
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:55AM AEST

Fans will get a repeat of the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final in this blockbuster encounter, a match in which Chelsea got the better of the German giants in a tightly fought encounter.

Bayern are undefeated thus far in their season, and in front of their home fans will no doubt go in as favourites against Chelsea, with Englishman Harry Kane in sctintillating form at the moment. Cole Palmer will look to do damage of his own for Chelsea, as his recent return from injury was a successful one, scoring in a draw with Brentford on the weekend.

NEWCASTLE V BARCELONA
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:55AM AEST

Newcastle United’s return to the Champions League is a daunting one against one of the title favourites in Barcelona.

Newcastle have finally resolved the Alexander Isak saga by selling the unhappy striker to Liverpool for a record AUD$258m transfer fee.

Isak’s replacement – giant German Nick Woltemade – scored on debut against Wolves.

SEMI-FINALS

NEW ZEALAND V CANADA
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 3:42AM AEST

World champions New Zealand will face their first real test of the tournament against a powerful Canada side in the opening semi-final.

Canada are ranked second in the world and drew 27-27 with the Black Ferns in the Pacific Four Series this year.

Both Canada and New Zealand garnered decisive victories over Australia and South Africa in the quarter-finals.

FRANCE V ENGLAND
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
LIVE & EXCLUSIVE ON STAN SPORT FROM 12:12AM AEST

England’s world record winning streak of 31 Tests goes on the line in the second semi-final against arch-rivals France.

England’s last loss was in the 2022 final against New Zealand and they are also on a 16-game winning streak against France.

Les Bleues will be without captain Manae Feleu and flanker Axelle Berthoumieu who have been banned for a dangerous tackle and biting respectively.
