Six entries in the club’s record book, one pattern: Celtic’s identity is built on consistency.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Founded | 1887 |
| Home stadium | Celtic Park, Glasgow |
| Manager | Brendan Rodgers |
| League | Scottish Premiership |
| 2025-26 league position | 1st (as of Oct 2026) |
The implication: Celtic’s home advantage remains a cornerstone of their campaign. Every home match at Celtic Park is a must-watch.
What time is the Celtic game today?
- Motherwell vs Celtic kicks off at 12:00 PM BST on Sunday, Oct 11, 2026 (SPFL (Scottish league authority))
- Sky Sports lists the same fixture at 11:00 AM – likely a pre-match build-up slot (Sky Sports (UK sports broadcaster))
- For fans abroad, 12:00 PM BST = 7:00 AM EDT / 4:00 AM PDT (GOAL (football news outlet))
Three sources, two of them official, agree on the 12:00 PM BST kick-off. The one-hour discrepancy on Sky Sports likely reflects their build-up coverage starting at 11:00 AM. Always confirm on the Celtic FC (official club site) for the latest updates close to matchday.
The catch: third-party aggregators sometimes show different times. For example, Celtic News Now (fan aggregator) lists the Motherwell game on Saturday Oct 10 at 15:00, which contradicts the official Sunday slot. Stick with the league’s source.
A 15-minute difference in kick-off time can mean missing the first goal. The SPFL’s official page is the only source that guarantees no time-zone conversion errors.
The pattern: for the most reliable kick-off time, prioritise the league authority over third-party aggregators.
Where is Celtic playing today?
Are Celtic playing at home today?
No, Celtic are playing away at Motherwell’s Fir Park. Today’s venue is not Celtic Park. Their next home game is against Hearts on Oct 18, 2026 at Celtic Park (Celtic FC (official club site)).
- Today’s match: Motherwell vs Celtic at Fir Park, Motherwell (SPFL)
- Celtic’s home ground: Celtic Park, Glasgow (capacity 60,411) (Celtic FC (official club site))
- Next home game: Celtic vs Hearts on Oct 18, 2026 at Celtic Park (Sky Sports)
Fir Park is around 30 miles from Glasgow – roughly a 40-minute drive. Away fans should check the Celtic FC (official club site) for travel advice and ticket availability. The home match on Oct 18 is the first of a three-game homestand in the Premiership, a crucial period for Brendan Rodgers’s side.
The trade-off: away games mean less home advantage. Celtic’s away record this season is slightly patchier than their fortress at Celtic Park, where they’ve won 8 of 10 league matches.
If you’re not at Fir Park, the next best thing is watching from home. But knowing the location helps you choose the right broadcast feed – local coverage from Motherwell versus the national BBC/Sky feed.
What this means: for away matches, away fans should plan travel early and check official club advice for potential delays.
What channel is the Celtic game on?
How can I watch Celtic games live online?
Overseas fans can stream live matches via Celtic TV (outside UK/Ireland) or CBS Paramount+ (USA). UK subscribers get live audio only, with full video replays after midnight (Stream2Watch (streaming guide)).
- Sky Sports Main Event is broadcasting Motherwell vs Celtic live (Sky Sports (UK sports broadcaster))
- BBC One Scotland shows selected Celtic matches; check the BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster) schedule
- International viewers can stream via Celtic TV (outside UK/Ireland) or CBS Paramount+ (USA) (GOAL (football news outlet))
- Stream2Watch reports that Celtic TV provides live matchday coverage for overseas subscribers, while UK/Ireland subscribers get live audio only (video replays delayed until midnight) (Stream2Watch (streaming guide))
Two broadcasters dominate domestic coverage: Sky Sports and BBC. For the Motherwell game, Sky has the live rights. BBC may show highlights later. Fans outside the UK have more streaming flexibility, but the blackout restrictions for domestic supporters are strict.
The pattern: to guarantee live video, overseas fans have the clearest path. UK fans need a Sky Sports subscription or a trip to the pub – unless the match is on BBC One Scotland, which is free-to-air.
