Stoke City vs Portsmouth Match Won’t Be Televised
Sky Sports has confirmed that the highly anticipated Stoke City vs Portsmouth EFL Championship match will not be televised.
The decision comes as part of the network’s reshuffling of broadcast priorities, citing a packed weekend schedule with other high-profile fixtures. Unfortunately, this clash has been deemed less commercially viable compared to some of the other games on offer.
Another factor contributing to the decision is the contractual agreement Sky Sports holds with the EFL, which allows a limited number of Championship matches to be aired live. With several other fixtures already chosen, including matches from the Premier League and other key Championship encounters, Stoke City vs Portsmouth has missed out on selection.
Fans of both clubs have expressed frustration, as this game holds significant importance for both teams’ campaigns. Stoke is looking to build on their mid-table form, while Portsmouth, a club with promotion ambitions, is eager to maintain their momentum. Supporters will need to rely on radio commentary, club updates, or online match trackers to follow the game, as no other broadcaster has stepped in to air it live.
