UKAF out for revenge: Watch every minute of their Kentish Cup matches live

The 2026 Kentish Cup sees the UKAF men's football team look to win back the trophy they lost to the French last year - and you can watch every minute of their tournament live with BFBS Sport.

All three matches involving the UK Armed Forces will be live on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel and on BFBS TV (for serving personnel overseas only).

That includes a first-ever meeting between the UK Armed Forces and the Irish Defence Forces as part of a Kentish Cup, as the two teams' rivalry enters the tournament.

The action will kick off with the UK Armed Forces as they take on the Dutch Armed Forces at 12:45pm GMT on Monday 16 November.

Further games against the French Armed Forces and the Irish will follow, with timings and dates to be confirmed after their first game, but games on Wednesday and Friday currently planned.

UKAF have won the Kentish Cup 29 times in their history, but the French success in 2022 and 2025 put them top of the leaderboard with 31 triumphs.

The British side will take hope from their history in this tournament on French soil - they won the trophy last time it was held in France in 2023.
