SKY CONFIRM: “Rotherham United FC vs Huddersfield Town” Match Not to Be Televised Due to Scheduling Constraints
Sky Sports have confirmed that the upcoming fixture between Rotherham United FC and Huddersfield Town will not be televised, citing a combination of broadcast scheduling constraints and existing rights commitments.
According to the broadcaster, the decision was not related to the significance of the match itself, but rather the limited number of live broadcast slots available for the round. With several high-profile fixtures already selected for coverage across the EFL schedule, Sky Sports explained that it was unable to accommodate the Rotherham vs Huddersfield clash within its programming lineup.
A Sky spokesperson noted that factors such as kickoff time, overlap with other live games, and contractual broadcasting priorities all played a role in the final decision. As a result, the match will proceed as scheduled but will only be available to supporters attending the game in person or following updates through club media channels, live commentary, and radio coverage.
The announcement has disappointed fans of both clubs, particularly given the regional rivalry and the importance of the fixture in the context of the season. Supporters had hoped the match would be selected for live television, especially with both teams eager to gain momentum and valuable points.
Despite the lack of live TV coverage, Sky emphasized its continued commitment to showcasing EFL football throughout the season and encouraged fans to look out for future selections involving both Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town.
Further broadcast updates for upcoming fixtures are expected to be announced in due course.
