SKY CONFIRM: “Aberdeen vs Celtic” Match Not to Be Televised Due to Broadcasting Restrictions
Sky Sports has officially confirmed that the upcoming Scottish Premiership clash between Aberdeen and Celtic will not be televised live in the UK due to broadcasting restrictions. The decision stems from a scheduling conflict and the current rights agreement, which limits the number of live SPFL games shown each season.
Despite the high-profile nature of the match, it falls outside the allocated televised slots, frustrating fans eager to watch the action unfold. Sky holds exclusive UK broadcasting rights for the SPFL but cannot show every fixture due to contractual constraints.
Supporters of both clubs have voiced disappointment, especially given the importance of the fixture in the title race. However, highlights will still be available after the game, and fans can follow live radio coverage or club updates. Kick-off remains as scheduled, but live TV coverage will not be provided.
