Most suitable preposition

Hello,

Which preposition is better to use in this sentence? Are they always used interchangeably?
on/for/over/at

I don't like playing football, but I often play tennis after work on weekdays, and on/for/over/at the weekend too.

Thanks

Are they always used interchangeably? on/for/over/at -- No, of course not. I don't like playing football, but I often play tennis after work on weekdays, and on (AmeE)/at (BrE) the weekends too.

Maybe for the weekend and over the weekend are used in this way?

He said he would stay with us for/over the weekend. Is it right?

Could you explain to me the difference in use?

Thanks
