Sky Sports has confirmed that the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester United will not be televised, leaving fans disappointed.
The decision is reportedly due to broadcast scheduling conflicts, with Sky opting to show other high-profile matches during the same weekend. Despite both teams being widely followed, the game did not make the final cut for live TV coverage.
This has sparked frustration among Manchester United supporters, who were eager to see their team in action, as well as Crystal Palace fans looking forward to the home fixture against one of the league’s top clubs. The decision comes as a surprise, given the magnitude of the fixture and the recent competitive encounters between the two sides.
While fans won’t be able to watch the match live on TV, alternative options such as live radio commentary, match highlights, and real-time updates via social media will still be available. Those attending the game at Selhurst Park will have the advantage of witnessing the action firsthand, while others will need to rely on digital platforms to keep up with the scoreline and key moments. Sky Sports’ decision underscores the tough choices broadcasters must make when scheduling live games.
