Sky Sports has confirmed that the upcoming League Two fixture between Bradford City and AFC Wimbledon will not be televised.
The decision comes as part of the broadcaster’s policy to prioritize matches with larger national interest or higher stakes. Despite both teams having strong followings in the EFL, the clash hasn’t been deemed significant enough to warrant a broadcast slot.
Another factor contributing to the decision could be the busy football schedule, with numerous Premier League and Championship matches also taking place around the same time. These games often attract higher viewership numbers, leaving lower-league matches out of the broadcasting lineup.
For fans of both Bradford City and AFC Wimbledon, this will be a disappointment, particularly given the significance of the fixture in the League Two campaign. Supporters will have to rely on radio broadcasts, live updates, or the clubs’ official channels for coverage.
This development highlights the ongoing challenge lower-league clubs face in gaining exposure and television time, even when their matches carry importance within their respective divisions. Fans of both sides will now have to adjust their plans accordingly.
