1965

Notes:

Many of the Saturday listings for the first half of the year are for the full live shows: it is probable that not all matches were broadcast.  The schedule during this year appears to have been a live broadcast on Saturday, with other matches taped at the same event for broadcast the following Wednesday.

Saturday shows during the year were broadcast as part of the SummerSport magazine show, and later World of Sport.
