TNT Sports and Sky Sports have confirmed that the highly anticipated match between Stockport County and Wrexham will not be televised as originally expected. The decision comes down to broadcasting rights issues and scheduling conflicts with other live events. According to sources, the game, which was slated to be a key fixture in the National League, was initially set for national broadcast but will now be available exclusively to fans attending the match or through other local viewing options.
Both clubs and broadcasting representatives have expressed disappointment, as the match had generated considerable interest due to Wrexham’s recent surge in popularity, bolstered by the involvement of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Stockport County, too, has been in strong form, adding further intrigue to the clash.
While the specifics of the broadcasting rights dispute have not been fully disclosed, sources indicate that negotiations fell through due to contractual complications with other channels and the timing of the game conflicting with other major events.
As a result, supporters eager to watch the game from home will need to explore alternative streaming options or rely on radio commentary, leaving many disappointed by the last-minute change.
