Or or if not would WiFi be strong enough to pick up video signal?

really desperate to find some way to watch it as my partner is a diehard red and it was me who booked these flights without realising (a 30th birthday present)

any help/advice would be great

thanks
Firstly welcome to FT!

Secondly, even if you were fortunate to get wifi on the plane (unlikely at the moment), the idea that BA's tech would be up to streaming a game is, unfortunately, laughable.

I'm putting it that bluntly so as not to give you any false hope. You should fully expect to not be able to see the game.

Now you could discreetly ask the crew if the captain would be able to get updates during the flights. I've had this done before during a World Cup game where the crew came over about 4 times during the game with score updates. No guarantees, but worth asking.
