Almost half of Boro's fixtures rescheduled for TV coverage in latest batch
- The EFL confirmed 112 fixtures for television broadcast between October 9, 2026, and January 9, 2027, with numerous matches across the Championship and League One receiving new dates and kick-off times.
- Broadcaster Sky Sports has rescheduled these matches to prioritize live coverage, a process the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust argues complicates travel and attendance for families and working supporters.
- Adjustments for Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough involve moving games to Thursday nights or Friday evenings, with kick-off times frequently shifting to 12.30pm or 8pm across the period.
- Television revenue remains a critical financial pillar for EFL clubs, worth £12m per club under current deals, yet the scheduling process continues to draw criticism from match-going supporters.
- By November 6, the EFL will announce the next batch of broadcast selections, covering matches from the FA Cup third round through the midweek of March 2-3, 2027.
