TNT Sports and Sky Sports have confirmed that the upcoming Bradford City vs Newport County match will not be televised.
This decision comes amid concerns over broadcast scheduling conflicts and prioritization of other high-profile fixtures. Both networks cited their commitment to covering major televised events, leading to a reshuffling of their programming schedules.
While fans of both Bradford City and Newport County expressed disappointment, the match will still be available via other platforms such as live radio coverage and online streaming through Bradford City’s iFollow service. Supporters who planned to watch the game on traditional television are encouraged to utilize these alternative options to follow the action.
The non-televised nature of this fixture underscores the logistical challenges broadcasters face when managing the demands of lower-league football, especially during congested match schedules. However, the absence of TV coverage could potentially boost in-person attendance at Valley Parade, as fans look to experience the game live rather than missing out completely.
Despite the lack of televised coverage, the clash between Bradford City and Newport County remains highly anticipated, as both teams continue their fight for important points in League Two.
