FOOTIE ON TV

Extra midweek Championship games will not be available on the Sky Sports red button service this week.

The three games being shown on the main Sky channels will be only ones screened. All other games will be available to stream on the clubs’ iFollow service as part of a season ticket or available to buy for a one-off payment.

Sky’s five-year deal with the EFL usually allows them to show every game in each of the ten midweek round of fixtures across the main Sky Sports channels and red button service.

However, as this season has been allocated more midweek rounds due to it starting later than usual, fixture rounds which would normally have fallen on a weekend but have moved to midweeks to accommodate the tighter schedule are not eligible to be screened by Sky in full.

Here are the rounds likely to be able have the full red button service.
