SKY CONFIRM: “Oldham Athletic vs Halifax Town” Match Not to Be Televised Due to Scheduling Conflict

Sky Sports has officially confirmed that the upcoming National League: Play-off clash between Oldham Athletic and Halifax Town will not be televised. The decision comes as a result of a scheduling conflict with higher-tier fixtures that take broadcast priority under existing rights agreements.

Despite initial consideration to feature the match due to its local rivalry and potential playoff implications, Sky has opted to focus its coverage on key EFL and Premier League encounters occurring that same weekend.

Supporters of both Oldham and Halifax expressed disappointment, as the game promised high drama and a significant crowd at Boundary Park. Fans are now encouraged to attend the match in person or follow club social media channels for live updates.

This decision highlights the ongoing challenges for lower-league sides in securing national TV coverage amid a crowded football calendar.
