FAQs: Grimsby vs Rochdale

How can I watch Grimsby vs Rochdale in the U.S.?

You can watch Grimsby vs Rochdale on Surprise Stream (surprisestream.com), which offers a free preview before you subscribe. The match is also listed on Sky Sports+ for UK viewers, but that listing does not establish U.S. access.

When does Grimsby vs Rochdale kick off?

Kickoff is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at 7:45 p.m. UK time. That is 2:45 p.m. Eastern, 1:45 p.m. Central, 12:45 p.m. Mountain and 11:45 a.m. Pacific in the United States.

Where is the match being played, and which side is at home?

Rochdale host Grimsby Town at Spotland, with Grimsby listed as the away side. That makes this a road fixture for the Mariners rather than a match at their home ground.

What competition and stage is this fixture part of?

It is an EFL League Two match in the 2026/27 season, listed as Matchweek 12. The teams are meeting in league play, not in the EFL Trophy; the result therefore counts toward their League Two campaign.

How have the teams been doing before kickoff?

Rochdale’s most recent league result was a 3–2 away loss to Crewe on October 17. Grimsby also lost their latest league match, 2–0 at home to Northampton that day, so both sides enter this fixture coming off a defeat.
