November brings plenty of reasons for customers to head to the pub, with a packed Premier League calendar, the autumn rugby internationals, three Formula 1 race weekends and some major dates in darts, snooker and horse racing. As the evenings draw in, there is no shortage of live sport to keep customers entertained throughout the month.
Football
The Premier League takes centre stage, with some particularly attractive fixtures for the big screens.

Manchester City then travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday 7 November, before Manchester United welcome Aston Villa the following afternoon.
The action picks up again after the international break, with Newcastle United hosting Arsenal on Saturday 21 November. The following day brings one of English football’s biggest rivalries as Liverpool take on Manchester United at Anfield. November finishes with another huge Sunday, as Everton host Liverpool in the Merseyside derby before Arsenal welcome Manchester City in a potentially important clash in the title race.
Rugby union
The Nations Championship provides a major run of international rugby throughout November, bringing together the leading northern and southern hemisphere nations.
Ireland get things underway against Argentina on Friday 6 November, while Saturday sees Scotland host New Zealand and Wales take on Japan. England then welcome Australia to Twickenham on Sunday 8 November.

From major football rivalries and international rugby to the closing stages of the Formula 1 season, November offers a strong mix of live sport for pubs and bars. With several standout weekends and plenty of evening action, it is a good month to make sure customers know what is coming up and when they can catch it.
