TNT Sports and Sky Sports have confirmed that the upcoming match between Cambridge United and Barnsley will not be televised, despite initial expectations for broadcast coverage. The decision stems from a combination of logistical challenges and scheduling conflicts with other high-profile matches.
Sources close to the broadcast teams have revealed that the technical requirements for live streaming and broadcasting from the Abbey Stadium, Cambridge United’s home ground, have not been met. Additionally, due to a packed football calendar and multiple competing events, the game did not fit into the available slot for national TV coverage.
While fans had hoped to see the League One clash on their screens, this decision has been met with some disappointment, as both teams have seen an uptick in form, and the match was expected to attract significant attention. Both TNT and Sky have apologized for the inconvenience and have promised to explore alternative coverage options in the future, such as extended highlights or digital streaming.
Cambridge United and Barnsley supporters will still be able to follow the action through live commentary, social media updates, and various online platforms. However, the lack of live television broadcast remains a frustrating turn of events for many football fans who were looking forward to watching the game in real time.
