What channel is Colchester v Luton Town EFL Trophy match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
League Two side Colchester United and League One outfit Luton Town meet in the group stages of the EFL Trophy on Saturday.
With the Premier League and Championship on pause due to the international break, the 3pm Saturday blackout has been lifted – and the clash at the JobServe Community Stadium is one of a host of games in that slot on live TV.
The hosts have been in poor form of late and will be searching for their first victory since the end of August, a run that includes a 3-1 defeat to Peterborough in their Group D opener.
Luton, meanwhile, head into the game as table-toppers after smashing Ipswich Academy 6-0 last time out and will be hoping to build more momentum.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Colchester v Luton Town on TV and online.
