How to watch Celtic v Dunfermline – TV channel, kick-off time and live streams

Make sure you know where to tune in for the Scottish Cup final

Celtic v Dunfermline is the biggest Scottish football fixture before the World Cup – will the Hoops follow up their league win with another Scottish Cup?

If Celtic win on Saturday (May 23), it’ll be the 43rd time they’ve won the competition. It’ll also come off the back of last weekend’s pulse-pounding decider against Heart, which saw them win the Scottish Premiership for the 56th time.

Dunfermline have made it to the Scottish Cup final five times, but they haven’t won it since 1968. So, it’d be fair to say the odds are stacked against them.

If you want to know when and where to stream the game this weekend, you’re in the right place.

What TV channel is Celtic v Dunfermline on?

You can watch the Celtic v Dunfermline game live on Premier Sports 2.

While not as popular or big as TNT Sports or Sky Sports, Premier Sports has the rights to the Scottish Cup, SPFL games, and the Investec Champions Cup.

The price is where it gets a little more complicated. It costs £17.99 per month via Sky on a rolling contract, or £12.99 per month on a 12-month minimum term.

If you go via Amazon Prime, it’s an additional £12.99 per month. If you’re a Virgin customer, it comes with bundles starting at £52 per month.

You can watch the game live on BBC One Scotland, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website.

While easier to access than Sky Sports and TNT Sports, there’s something you need to remember: it isn’t free. In order to watch live TV via the BBC, you need to pay for the licence fee, which costs £15 per month or £180 per year.

Where to live stream Celtic v Dunfermline online

You can stream the match live via Premier Sports, and there are a variety of ways to do this.

Once you have a subscription, you can watch it live via Sky, Virgin Media, and Amazon Prime Video. This means you can watch it on any of the devices you’d use to access those services.

Alternatively, you can stream it via Premier Sports’ website and app, which is widely available too.

For all three you can create a subscription through Premier Sport’s own website and then use your log in on your respective TV hub. Alternatively, you can select Premier Sports as an add-on to your pre-existing streaming bill, which often works out cheaper.

You can also stream the match live via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

It couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is load up the BBC iPlayer website or app (which is available on all expected devices), search for the game, and start watching.

You still need to pay for the licence fee if you’re watching live football on iPlayer.
