Is there football on TV every night?

Not every night, but most weekday evenings during the season (August to May) have something. The busiest period is October to April, when the Champions League, Europa League and Premier League midweeks all overlap. The quietest windows are international breaks (5–6 times per season) and the summer off-season.
