SKY CONFIRM: “St. Mirren vs Hibernian” Match Not to Be Televised Due to Scheduling Conflict
Sky Sports has officially confirmed that the upcoming Scottish Premiership clash between St. Mirren and Hibernian will not be televised, citing a scheduling conflict with other live broadcast commitments. The decision has frustrated many fans who were eager to watch the crucial mid-table battle unfold live.
The fixture, set to take place at the SMiSA Stadium, was initially under consideration for live coverage, but Sky ultimately opted to prioritize another match due to contractual obligations and broader audience appeal. As the exclusive broadcaster of the Scottish Premiership, Sky is permitted to air a limited number of games per round, and this weekend’s selection did not include the Buddies vs. Hibs showdown.
Supporters from both sides expressed disappointment online, particularly given the match’s potential implications for the league table and the push for top-six positioning. While fans will still be able to follow the game via club media channels and live updates, the lack of TV coverage highlights ongoing frustrations with broadcast accessibility in Scottish football.
Neither club has commented officially on the matter, but both are expected to draw solid in-stadium support when the match kicks off.
