{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2022}}
In the United Kingdom, sporting events are broadcast on several national television networks, as well as radio. Many of the sporting events are listed online or in different kind of apps. These apps are mainly designed for sport fans who want to have an easy way to find when a certain game or match is played, as well as when a race starts or which channel is broadcasting the Olympic Games etc.
Certain sporting events are protected by the Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events and must be broadcast live and free-to-air on terrestrial television in the UK.
Presently, free-to-air means a TV channel which is free and covers 98% of the population.{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/10/parliament-future-world-cups-free-to-air-tv |title=Parliament to discuss keeping future World Cups on free-to-air TV |website=TheGuardian.com |date=10 July 2018 }} According to Ofcom regulations, qualifying free-to-air channels are BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
