SKY CONFIRM: Blackpool vs Birmingham City Match Not to Be Televised Due to Channel Disruption
Sky Sports has confirmed that the upcoming Championship clash between Blackpool and Birmingham City will not be televised due to unexpected channel disruptions. The highly anticipated fixture, originally scheduled for live broadcast this weekend, has been removed from Sky’s programming following a technical issue that has impacted their ability to deliver coverage.
A statement from Sky read: “Due to unforeseen technical disruptions affecting our live broadcast capabilities, we regret to inform viewers that the Blackpool vs Birmingham City match will no longer be shown live. We understand the disappointment this may cause and are working urgently to resolve the issue.”
Fans of both clubs have expressed frustration, particularly with this being a crucial fixture in the race for points late in the season. Supporters who had planned to watch from home are now left seeking alternative ways to follow the game, including live text updates and radio coverage.
Both clubs have issued apologies to their fanbases, urging patience and understanding. As of now, there is no update on whether a replay or delayed full-match broadcast will be available, though Sky has promised further communication should circumstances change.
