League Cup matches live on Sky Sports:

No Liverpool. I don't understand

Maybe their last game took too long to finish and messed up the schedules

[snout]

Does anyone know when the next tranche of fixtures changes for TV (December and possibly January) will be announced?

[SamD]

Last year, December TV fixtures were announced on Wednesday 9 October.

[Judio]

Sky have started drip feeding the Championship today so during the International break appears to be the expected time

We should get February Premier League soon, they must be waiting for UEFA Draw on Monday

Announced Tue Dec 10th last year

Maybe they were waiting to see who qualifies for Champions League - Done
Maybe they were waiting to see who was playing which week in CL - Done
Maybe they were waiting to see who qualified for Capital One Cup Semis - Done

No more reasons !!!!!

[Judio]

Good on Sky for choosing the matches on the Sundays which feature Europa League teams

One of the matches involving Liverpool or Chelsea on Feb28th/Mar 1st will be moved again due to the League Cup Final

[Darbyand]

Judio, do with this nugget of information what you will:


Premier League ‏@premierleague
The 2015/16 #BPL season will kick off on Saturday 8 August

[murf]

That's early isn't it - and this season ends a little late.

No summer championships obviously but a double short break. Poor lambs will only get a slightly longer holiday than teachers - less with pre-season.

[Judio]

New Years Day falls on a Friday

Could this be a factor ???

This is how they fitted them in 5 years ago when the Xmas dates were the same

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archiv ... xture-list" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


They now have a contract with BT to Show games over 5 "Midweek and Holiday Rounds"

Unless they play Friday 1st Jan they are going to have to use another midweek (August possibly)

Failing that they would have to use Easter Monday

The Football League have already said they are playing Jan 2nd so looks like the FA Cup has been shifted to Sat 9th ???

[snout]

Yay! Admin's sorted the sticky status out.

Now, when are we getting March's announcement? Last year was very late - last Monday in Jan. Hopefully not as late this year.

[Judio]

There are no games on FA Cup Round 6 day

BT already know which 2 matches they are showing on March 3 and 4 (they are restricted on their midweek deal)
Man City match and Man United match

So Basically they have no excuse not to tell us today !!!

March is quite quiet

2 Blank Saturdays

[snout]

BT already know which 2 matches they are showing on March 3 and 4 (they are restricted on their midweek deal)
Man City match and Man United match

This is the info I need!

Presumably City v Leicester will be on the Wednesday as City (provisionally) play on the preceding Sunday.

Meaning Newcastle v United is moved to the Tuesday?

I have been umming and ahhing about doing an overnight trip for the City game. Knowing that it is going to be on BT Sport makes up my mind. I will go.

I'll do anything to avoid having to listen to Michael Owen's co-commentary.

[snout]

March fixtures out.

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news ... eased.html

Tuesday 3 March 2015
7.45pm Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion (BT Sport) *
(not City game as predicted)

Wednesday 4 March 2015
7.45pm Newcastle United v Manchester United (BT Sport) *

Saturday 14 March 2015
12.45pm Crystal Palace v Queens Park Rangers (BT Sport)
5.30pm Burnley v Manchester City (Sky Sports)

Sunday 15 March 2015
1.30pm Chelsea v Southampton (Sky Sports)
4pm Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur (Sky Sports)

Monday 16 March 2015
8pm Swansea City v Liverpool (Sky Sports)

Saturday 21 March 2015
12.45pm Manchester City v West Bromwich Albion (BT Sport)
5.30pm West Ham United v Sunderland (Sky Sports)

Sunday 22 March 2015
1.30pm Liverpool v Manchester United (Sky Sports)
4pm Hull City v Chelsea (Sky Sports)

[Judio]

That means BT can (or have already ) show the second City pick in their smaller package as a 4th pick on a Sat 1245

And it looks like the game is on March 21st

[Striker]

I'll do anything to avoid having to listen to Michael Owen's co-commentary.

Even if your TV is stuck on the BT channel, you could turn it off. However, I think that Mrs Striker would recommend that you watch Holby that evening in the warmth, rather than endure a freezing March evening in Manchester seeing City humiliated. It's a win win situation.

Tue Feb 3rd BTSport Man U v Cambridge
