Soccer Saturday is broadcast from 12 pm on Sky Sports News HQ and lasts for up to six hours. The programme begins with the host and four regular in-studio pundits previewing the weekend's matches, reviewing recent results and debating current issues in football.

Other games deemed important are reported on by correspondents at the grounds connected to the studio by a video link.
