TNT & Sky Confirm: “Stock City vs Millwall” Match Will Not Be Televised Due to Broadcasting Rights Issue
In a surprising announcement, TNT Sports and Sky have confirmed that the upcoming match between Stock City and Millwall will not be broadcasted live due to a dispute over broadcasting rights. The decision has caused confusion among fans who were looking forward to the fixture being aired on one of the major networks.
Sources close to the broadcasters suggest that the issue stems from conflicting agreements with the rights holders for the game. Despite the match being scheduled in the usual prime time slot for televised fixtures, contractual complications regarding exclusivity and licensing have led to the unusual decision. Both clubs, Stock City and Millwall, have expressed disappointment, with Stock City’s management issuing a statement emphasizing the importance of accessibility for fans.
This is a rare situation in British football, with most high-profile matches typically available on mainstream television channels. Fans were already anticipating live coverage, especially given the competitive nature of the game and the teams’ standings in the league. The lack of live broadcast will force supporters to rely on radio commentary or attend the match in person to catch the action. Fans have been urged to stay updated through the clubs’ official digital platforms for match highlights.
