SKY CONFIRM: “Leyton Orient vs Stockport County” Match Not to Be Televised Due to Scheduling Conflict
Sky Sports has confirmed that the upcoming League One clash between Leyton Orient and Stockport County will not be televised as originally anticipated. The broadcaster cited a scheduling conflict with higher-priority fixtures, particularly in the Premier League and EFL Championship, as the main reason behind the decision.
The match, set to be a highly anticipated contest between two competitive sides, had been considered for live coverage. However, Sky Sports stated that logistical constraints and existing broadcast commitments have forced a revision of their televised schedule. A spokesperson added: “While we appreciate the significance of the Leyton Orient vs Stockport County match, we must balance coverage across all leagues and prioritize matches based on viewership metrics and contractual obligations.”
Fans of both clubs have expressed disappointment, especially given the importance of the fixture in the League One promotion race. Supporters will now have to rely on club streaming services, radio commentary, or in-person attendance to follow the action. Despite the setback, both Leyton Orient and Stockport County have assured fans that full match highlights and post-game coverage will be available shortly after the final whistle.
