SKY CONFIRM: “Coventry City VS Sunderland” Match Not to be Televised Due to Broadcast Rights Clash
Sky Sports has confirmed that the highly anticipated Championship clash between Coventry City and Sunderland will not be televised live, citing a broadcast rights clash as the reason. The match, which was expected to attract significant viewership due to both clubs’ strong fanbases and playoff aspirations, has been left off the live TV schedule.
According to a spokesperson from Sky Sports, the decision stems from limitations in the number of live EFL matches the broadcaster can show during a particular weekend. With other fixtures already selected for live coverage, Coventry vs. Sunderland did not make the final cut despite its high profile.
The announcement has disappointed many fans, especially those unable to attend in person. Both clubs are still fighting for key positions in the Championship table, making the match a potentially crucial encounter in the promotion race.
Coventry City and Sunderland supporters have expressed frustration on social media, with calls for a review of the current TV rights arrangements that limit access to key fixtures. Fans will have to rely on club updates, live commentary, or streaming services like iFollow (subject to regional restrictions) to follow the action.
