Information checked: November 7, 2026, 6:14 PM Auckland time (NZDT, UTC+13:00; November 7, 2026, 05:14 UTC).
Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix meet in the New Zealand Derby on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Go Media Stadium in Auckland. Kickoff was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. in Auckland (New Zealand Daylight Time, NZDT, UTC+13:00), equivalent to 3:00 p.m. in Sydney and Melbourne (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, AEDT, UTC+11:00), or 04:00 UTC. The fixture is part of Matchweek 4 of the 2026–27 A-League Men season. For readers looking for the latest score, the quickest primary source is the official A-Leagues Match Centre, rather than an older preview or a search-result snippet.
Score verification: At the stated check time, the accessible official match-page snapshot did not supply a reliably confirmed live score, goal timeline, or final result. This article therefore does not label a blank scoreline or a default 0–0 display as the actual score. Open the live Match Centre for the freshest status and check its match clock and event log before sharing a result.
Start at the official A-Leagues Match Centre. Use the Live or match-ticker section to check the match minute and any recorded goals, cards, or substitutions. The Stats and Lineup sections can supply possession, shots, starting players, and changes when those feeds are populated. After full time, look for a confirmed final score and the recap, rather than relying on a feed that may still be displaying pre-match information.
When an official page has not yet loaded match events, refresh it or open the corresponding live view in the A-Leagues app. Check whether the status explicitly reads “live,” “half-time,” or “full-time.” A two-number display without a match clock or confirmed event record can be a placeholder. Likewise, a match preview written earlier in the week is useful for scheduling and form but is not proof of the current score.
For an individual goal, look for a scorer, minute, and any video-assistant-referee decision in the official event timeline. For a lineup, distinguish the named pre-match squad from the actual starting XI; the official Matchweek 4 team news listed selected players and availability before kickoff, not a substitute for the final team sheet. For the result, use the completed Match Centre and an official club report when available. This sequence helps avoid circulating a score that has been corrected or an event that was later disallowed.
The Auckland FC matchday guide lists the game for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Go Media Stadium. New Zealand and eastern Australia are both on daylight saving time on this date, but their offsets differ. These are kickoff times, not the start of a television pregame show.
| Location | Saturday, November 7 kickoff | Time zone |
|---|---|---|
| Auckland, New Zealand (venue) | 5:00 p.m. | NZDT, UTC+13:00 |
| Sydney and Melbourne | 3:00 p.m. | AEDT, UTC+11:00 |
| Brisbane | 2:00 p.m. | AEST, UTC+10:00 |
| Adelaide | 2:30 p.m. | ACDT, UTC+10:30 |
| Perth | 12:00 p.m. (noon) | AWST, UTC+08:00 |

Auckland’s venue is also commonly known as Mount Smart Stadium, but Go Media Stadium is the name used by the clubs and league for this fixture. The November 7 date applies in every time zone shown above; none of these conversions crosses into another calendar day.
According to the A-Leagues Matchweek 4 preview, Wellington started the round in first place and Auckland in sixth. Wellington had won its first three league fixtures, beating Melbourne Victory 2–1, Central Coast Mariners 2–0, and Newcastle Jets 3–0. Auckland opened with a 3–1 victory over Melbourne City, lost 5–2 to Western Sydney Wanderers, and drew 1–1 at Brisbane Roar. That creates a clear contrast: Wellington arrived with nine points and a perfect start, while Auckland had four points from three matches.
Those standings are pre-match figures, not a claim about the live table during or after the derby. Based on those totals alone, an Auckland victory would take the hosts to seven points while Wellington stayed on nine; a Wellington win would take the visitors to 12 while Auckland remained on four. A draw would give Wellington 10 and Auckland five. Positions may still change with results elsewhere in Matchweek 4.
The league’s recent head-to-head summary lists an Auckland win in each of the past three meetings: 2–1 away in November 2025, 3–1 at home in December 2025, and 5–0 away in February 2026. The Auckland FC derby preview also described Auckland as having won the six derbies played before this fixture. These are verified historical results, not predictions for November 7. They explain why the rivalry attracts attention even when the teams arrive with very different early-season form.
For Australian viewers, Paramount+ is the confirmed live-streaming home of every 2026–27 A-League Men match, including this one, under the official 2026–27 A-League Men season guide. Some A-League Men fixtures also appear free on Network 10 channels and streaming, but that general arrangement does not establish a free broadcast for this particular derby. Check the broadcaster’s local listings instead of assuming this match is on free-to-air television.
In New Zealand, the league identifies Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, and Sky Go as the season’s live coverage options. Availability, subscriptions, and programme start times can differ by country. Australian viewers searching for the score do not need a paid subscription to read the official Match Centre.
Four details make a live-score update genuinely useful: the match status, the correct score, confirmed goals and disciplinary events, and the post-match effect on the table. During play, a single goal can alter the likely outcome; after full time, the verified result and updated standings matter more than a snapshot from midway through the second half. A goal, red card, or late equalizer should only be described as having happened after it appears in a trustworthy event record.
Team selection is another variable. The official pre-match team news named Sam Cosgrove as returning from suspension for Auckland and listed several unavailable players. Any tactical conclusion about a starter or formation must wait for the confirmed starting lineup. If Wellington protects its perfect start, it could strengthen its early lead; if Auckland continues its winning derby streak, the gap could narrow. Both are conditional scenarios, not reported outcomes.
Use the official A-Leagues Match Centre for score, match clock, statistics, team sheets, and recap; the Auckland FC matchday guide for venue and confirmed local kickoff; the A-Leagues Matchweek 4 preview for pre-match form and league positions; the official Matchweek 4 team news for published squad availability; and the official 2026–27 A-League Men season guide for Australian and New Zealand viewing arrangements. These sources describe different stages of the match and should not be treated as interchangeable.
The accessible official snapshot did not provide a reliable score at this article’s check time. Visit the official A-Leagues Match Centre, confirm its live or full-time status, and read the event log for the latest verified result.
