November on BT Sport and BT Sport Box Office: UFC 268, Premier League, Champions League, Gallagher Premiership and Canelo vs Plant headline unmissable month

Have we got a month in store for you! The penultimate month of the year promises to be a bonanza of sensational live action on BT Sport as we bring you some gigantic events across the next 30 days.

November has just about everything for the sports fan - from the Champions League and Europa League to Serie A and Ligue 1, to a mouth-watering middleweight bout between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant live on BT Sport Box Office.

Read on for btsport.com’s summary of our unrivalled live schedule this month.

Canelo vs Plant on BT Sport Box Office

The month kicks off with a fight for the ages on BT Sport Box Office on Saturday 6 November.

Two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world will go toe-to-toe when Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez takes on the unbeaten American Caleb Plant for the undisputed super middleweight title.

Mexican Alvarez holds the WBC, WBA and WBO titles while Plant owns the IBF belt.

"This Nov 6th we'll put Mexican boxing on top," Alvarez recently wrote on Twitter. "Going for the missing belt!" he added.

Alvarez, who has lost just once in 59 fights, claimed his third title when he beat Britain's Billy Joe Saunders in May, while Plant defended his title with a unanimous decision win over Caleb Truax in January.

Sparks are set to fly in Las Vegas with plenty of bad blood between the pair in the build up.

In the first press conference to promote their world super-middleweight unification fight, Alvarez shoved Plant in the chest, sending the unbeaten American staggering across the stage.

Alvarez then evaded a punch from Plant before landing two of his own to cut the 29-year-old under his right eye.

It all makes for an unmissable evening of entertainment - live on BT Sport Box Office.

Premier League

BT Sport will show three Premier League games throughout November including a rerun of last season's thrilling FA Cup final between Leicester City and Chelsea.

We'll also bring you exclusive coverage of two games featuring Newcastle United as the newly-monied Magpies face difficult away days at Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Our November Premier League coverage kicks off with managerless Newcastle's trip to the south coast as they face high-flying Brighton on Saturday 6 November in a slightly later kick-off time than normal, at 5.30pm.

After spending the majority of last season looking nervously over their shoulder at the drop zone, both Brighton and Newcastle will have been desperate to avoid a similarly nerve-wracking campaign this time around.

But while the Seagulls have kicked on under Graham Potter to make a stunning start to the new campaign, Newcastle once again find themselves in the Premier League duldrums.

The long-awaited takeover of the club by a Saudi-backed consortium has brought a refreshing air of optimism to St James' Park, but the club's new owners will be aware of the task ahead with the Tynsesiders 19th in the table and winless from their opening nine games.

The following weekend, our Saturday lunchtime kick-off sees Arsenal host Newcastle in a battle between two of the league's most talked-about teams this season.

Mikel Arteta looks to have slowly wrestled some momentum back in a positive direction after a troubling start to the campaign and will be keen to see his side go on an extended run to put themselves amongst the top six.

To do so, they'll have to navigate what would be a tricky afternoon against a Newcastle team set up to do damage on the counter-attack.

We're also likely to see a homecoming for £25m Newcastle signing Joe Willock, who departed from his boyhood club in north London over the summer following a goal-laden loan spell in the north east.

Will he come back to haunt his former employers or will Willock's fellow Hale End graduate, Emile Smith-Rowe, grab the headlines once again?

Champions League

The Champions League continues in the first week of November with Matchday 4 as we near the business end of the group stages.

In a reversal of the fixtures from Matchday 3, defending champions Chelsea take on Malmo in Sweden on Tuesday night, while last season's beaten finalists Man City welcome Club Brugge to the Etihad. 

All eyes will be on Anfield on Wednesday, November 3, as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool play host to Atletico Madrid in a repeat of last season's quarter-final second leg.

The Reds will be out to complete the double over the Spanish league champions after picking up a stunning 3-2 victory at the Wanda Metropilatano a fortnight ago.

Arguably the most intriguing tie of the round sees Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's under-seige Manchester United travel to Italy to face Atalanta, two weeks on from their dramatic comeback win at Old Trafford.

Since then the Red Devils suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat in the Premier League at the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool and a morale-boosting victory in Bergamo is essential if Ole is to extend his stay of execution. 

After a three-week hiatus for the international break, the Champions League returns for a second November installment in the final week of the month.

Tuesday night kicks off with Manchester United away at Villarreal before Chelsea play host to Juventus.

The stars will be out on Wednesday night as Lionel Messi's PSG face Man City at the Etihad is the standout tie of Matchday 5, while Liverpool welcome Porto on the evening.

The Europa League - featuring Leicester, West Ham, Celtic and Rangers - and the Europa Conference League - with Tottenham England's sole representative - also continue in November. All three competitions are live and exclusive only on BT Sport.

Don’t forget, BT Sport subscribers can enjoy the Champions League via the revolutionary enhanced player on btsport.com and the award-winning BT Sport app.

If that’s not enough, you can enjoy all the action with friends in a split screen view on the app on our Watch Together feature.

UFC 268: Usman vs Covington 2

There's plenty for fight fans to get their teeth into this month, including a blockbuster rematch between Kamaru "The Nigerian Nightmare" Usman and Colby "Chaos" Covington.

In the main event of stacked UFC 268 card, bitter rivals Usman and Covington will battle for Usman's welterweight championship for a second time. 

The duo produced an all-out war in their first fight back in December 2019, with Usman scoring a late TKO victory after breaking Covington's jaw.

Since then a war of words has raged between the pair, with Covington suggesting there was a conspiracy against him in the first meeting.

While Usman has gone on to score wins over Jorge Masvidal (twice) and Gilbert Burns, Covington has only picked up one win since losing to the Nigerian Nightmare, stopping former champion Tyron Woodley.

MotoGP

The fastest show on two wheels continues in November with two more MotoGP races as the season hurtles towards its conclusion.

The action begins with the Portuguese Grand Prix where newly-crowned champion of the world Fabio Quartararo will be looking to claim the chequered flag for the second year running.

The Yamaha rider became the first Frenchman to win the MotoGP title after finishing fourth in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

"It's amazing, right now I'm living the dream," said Quartararo who started the race 15th on the grid.

"It feels good to have my family with me and we will enjoy tonight and until the end of the season."

Another dramatic season comes to a close in Valencia a week later as MotoGP bids farewell to one of the icons of the sport. 

Valentino Rossi will finally hang up his helmet after a glittering 26-year career that included over 400 races and nine world titles.
