From what I can see, we are only on Sky three times before Christmas (and only one game is at OT) in the PL. That feels very unusual. And only one game on BT/TNT Sports until the end of September (not counting CL). Do they really think we've lost our drawing power or something?
Live games
- Thread starter mitchmouse
- Start date
Well in that case contemplating cancelling Sky Sports...
They must surely still be deciding the live schedule.
Only 3 games have been confirmed as not scheduled for tv coverage
We don’t know what games have been selected for live coverage from October to Christmas yet. Sky & TNT Sports haven’t selected what October & onwards games they are going to broadcast.

We have City and Chelsea at home before Xmas so they'll be broadcast
Newcastle and Liverpool away so that'll be on TV
I imagine we'll also be live against Everton too.

Chill a bit. They can’t confirm anything until the European draws have happened.
They’d show United every week if they could.

Go to actual games like a proper fan!
But seriously, TV schedules aren't properly confirmed yet. Only when European fixtures are confirmed. And if you were a real fan you'd know that!

Glad we’ve been put on sky first game of season. Ashame we have to wait until Monday night for it though.
Hahah, and we’re playing at 15:00 every Saturday, what is this madness 
Newcastle bought all our TV slots 
Yeah following everyone else's comments it does look like they just haven't sorted the televised games yet from when European football starts...so maybe I'll keep paying these feckers after all.
Or you could cancel your subscription like every other sane person and find other ‘sources’!
I do threaten to cancel it whenever the 6 months reduced price is about to expire...so then you keep getting it at half price, which isn't so extortionate.
Lots of games will still get moved I bet.
‘Apparently’ it is still extortionate compared to the other ‘sources’.
I know what you mean though. The carrot is always dangled in front of you to stay with them.
Same every year at this point, it's all still to be decided. No doubt there will be a lot of shit games chosen though, as they usually put quite a few stinkers on in the first half of the season.
So if a game does get televised and it’s currently scheduled for 3pm Saturday does it just change time or could it change days as well?
Both or either.
Cheers. Have to wait and see then.
CL draw is the key date.
When Sky/TNT know the dates, venues and times for those games, the full TV schedule will be announced.
If they'd increase the capacity of OT to 700 million, I'm sure a lot more fans would attend.
It was clearly a joke post Col. Did you read the rest of it?
We have three 3pm games by the end of September.
Think we had 4 all last season.

The full tv schedule is never announced. They usually announce 6-8 gameweeks at a time. This gives them a better idea of who the form teams are through the season and which matches they should or should not prioritise.
Yeah. Sorry. I didn’t mean for the rest of the season.
Now laugh at mine!
No
Typical Col, miserable so and so.
Says Mr no sense of humour.
I made the best joke in here pal.
there's a pretty long list on both BT and Skysports websites

there's a pretty long list on both BT and Skysports websites... and I would go to games if 1. I could afford it and 2. wasn't working some weekends (with little advance knowledge of dates)
I'm only kidding about going to games. I'm in a half similar boat to you.
But once European fixtures are announced, some of our Saturday games will be moved and undoubtedly be televised.
ah.. now that's a sensible comment - although of course we won't be playing Thursdays (so not forced to play Sundays).. well not until we get Madrid, Inter and PSG in our CL group ha ha
Hoep so - but they knwo we'll be playing Tuesday or Wednesday - until we drop in the europa ha ha
Which shows the games up to the final game week in September that have been selected for broadcasting, not games beyond that up to Christmas. Premier league website has the exact same -https://www.premierleague.com/broadcast-schedules
Like said earlier, both tv companies haven’t selected their games yet for the October game weeks & onwards.
I’ve just counted the number of games that the traditional big 6 & Newcastle have live in the opening 7 weeks that have been confirmed by both broadcasters. We have a game more than City (only have 3 live games) & the same as Liverpool (4). The London clubs all have one more with 5 and Newcastle have the most than any other team with 6.
Man Utd - 4 (Wolves - H, Spurs - A, Arsenal - A, Burnley - A)
Man City - 3 (Burnley - A, Newcastle - H, Sheffield Utd - A)
Arsenal - 5 (Forest - H, Palace - A, Man Utd - H, Everton - A, Spurs - H)
Liverpool - 4 (Chelsea - A, Newcastle - A, Wolves - A, Spurs - A)
Spurs - 5 (Brentford - A, Man Utd - H, Bournemouth - A, Arsenal - A, Liverpool - H)
Chelsea - 5 (Liverpool - H, West Ham - A, Luton - H, Bournemouth - A, Fulham - A)
Newcastle - 6 (Villa - H, Man City - A, Liverpool - H, Brighton - A, Brentford - H, Sheffield Utd - A)
so only City have fewer... rather makes my point: Newcastle and Arsenal have more. I thought Skysports' list went up to December (I did say "as far as I can tell" - revealing it couldn't be right. I think Villa are on more often than us too
