I reckon the soccer game Sky are showing will be more high scoring than Pats v Jets. 

 

Is it called a "fixture" in British English?

I'm not British, but I believe that league games are called fixtures because they are on a fixed schedule. This is opposed to cup ties or other tournament games which are played in a tournament format so you don't know who you're playing before the season starts.

Awesome... makes sense to me! [And if you're in France (? or maybe your user name refers to the Sabres), you would know more than most Americans].

The entire schedule this week is garbage. There will be an upset somewhere, but on paper there are no compelling matchups.

 

Agreed - not a single compelling matchup - makes it easy for survivor pools as there are lots "gimme" games

Fixtures tend to be a collective of games. A bit like you guys would call a “schedule”. Can be used for a single game though. The English language for you! 
 

Fixtures as in they’ve been set. 
 

A “match” might be more a appropriate word.

British English words and usage are cool and I am always learning. Terms like "brillo", "ladder", "pond", and "f*g" (bad word in American English) I learned in college, but things like the aforementioned "fixture", "TV listings", and "BST" I just learned.

Brillo?! That’s a new one on me! 🤣

 

I’d probably use “tele” instead of “TV”. Of course, there’s a lot of regional language differences within the UK as well. Even with it being so small.
