where to watch celtic game

You can usually watch the Celtic game either through official club platforms, major sports broadcasters, or region‑specific streaming services, but the exact option depends on whether you mean Glasgow Celtic (Scottish football) or the Boston Celtics (NBA).

First: Which “Celtic” do you mean?

  • Glasgow Celtic (Scottish football) – Scottish Premiership, cups, and European nights.
  • Boston Celtics (NBA) – NBA regular season and playoffs.

The options below cover both so you can jump to what matches your situation.

Glasgow Celtic – Live Matches

For Glasgow Celtic, rights change by competition and country, but a few patterns are consistent.

1. Official club & dedicated services

  • Celtic TV (club service)
    • Streams many Celtic matches live, especially games not picked up domestically in the UK, plus replays and extra content.
* Usually:
  * Live coverage for international fans.
  * In‑game or delayed coverage for UK & Ireland when blackout rules apply.
* Access is subscription‑based via the official club site or app.
  • Club/league streaming partners
    • For European competitions (Champions League/Europa/Conference), international rights can be bundled on services that also carry Celtic’s games.

Tip: If you are outside the UK, Celtic TV is often the most straightforward way to ensure you can watch “every Celtic game” with one subscription.

2. By region – typical options

Exact channels change by season and opponent, but these are the usual suspects.

  • UK & Ireland
    • League and big domestic games often appear on:
      • Sky Sports
      • TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport)
    • Some home matches and less‑high‑profile fixtures stream on Celtic TV only.
  • United States
    • Select Celtic matches in Scottish competitions may be carried by major soccer streamers (for example, services partnered with the league or European competitions).
* European nights involving Celtic often appear via the platform that holds UEFA rights in the U.S. (same service that shows Champions/Europa/Conference League).
  • Rest of world
    • National broadcasters or sports networks pick up specific fixtures (Hearts v Celtic, Rangers v Celtic, etc.), with country‑by‑country TV listings.
* Celtic TV usually has an international live stream if your country is not covered by a domestic TV deal.

What fans actually do: Many supporters check a “Celtic on TV” listing site on matchday to see that day’s channel/stream (e.g., TNT Sports, Celtic TV, or specific international networks).

3. Replays, highlights, and fan workarounds

  • Match replays & highlights
    • Celtic TV archives: full replays, extended highlights, club shows.
* Broadcasters that carried the match (e.g., Sky/TNT) usually post highlight packages afterward.
  • Forum chatter & unofficial links
    • On fan forums and subreddits, supporters often mention:
      • Watching via Celtic TV apps or Fire Stick.
  * Complaints about stream reliability and quality during pre‑season or overseas tours.

* Some users share third‑party links; these can be unreliable, low‑quality, or not legal in your jurisdiction.

Boston Celtics – NBA Games

If you meant the Boston Celtics , you’re dealing with NBA rights rather than Scottish football.

  • Local/regional coverage (U.S.)
    • Games that air on NBC Sports Boston can be streamed on Peacock with the appropriate add‑on, letting you watch Boston Celtics games live.
  • National TV & league streaming
    • Nationally televised games usually appear on big U.S. sports networks (e.g., ESPN/TNT equivalents) and the NBA’s own streaming products, depending on your region’s blackout rules.
  • On‑demand & replays
    • Many services allow replay viewing if you miss tip‑off, either through the regional sports network’s app or the NBA’s official streaming platform.
