TNT Sports and Sky Sports have confirmed that the highly anticipated Sheffield derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday will not be televised due to broadcasting scheduling issues. The match, set to take place at Bramall Lane, has drawn significant attention from fans and media alike, but neither broadcaster will be airing the fixture live.
The decision stems from a clash with existing broadcasting commitments, as both networks have previously secured rights to other high-profile matches around the same time. With limited scheduling flexibility and a crowded fixture calendar, there was no available window to broadcast the Sheffield derby without disrupting other scheduled programming.
While this news has disappointed many football fans, especially those who do not have access to tickets or cannot attend the match in person, the game will still be widely covered by other means. Local radio stations, social media platforms, and various sports websites will provide live commentary and updates throughout the 90 minutes.
Despite not being available on mainstream TV, the Sheffield derby remains a fixture filled with fierce rivalry and local pride, and it is expected to draw large crowds at Bramall Lane. Fans of both clubs will be hoping for a thrilling contest, even without the live TV coverage.
