The Premier League fixture between Newcastle United and Everton will not be televised due to a combination of broadcasting decisions and scheduling constraints. TNT Sports, which holds rights to specific Premier League time slots, opted not to broadcast a match in the early Saturday slot this weekend. This decision was influenced by factors such as restrictions on clubs participating in midweek European competitions and the selection criteria for broadcast matches .
Additionally, the traditional UK broadcasting blackout prohibits live television coverage of football matches between 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. on Saturdays, limiting the available slots for live broadcasts . Consequently, with no suitable alternative time slot selected by broadcasters, the Newcastle United vs. Everton match will not be available for live television viewing.
This situation underscores the complexities of broadcasting rights and scheduling within the Premier League, often leading to certain matches not being televised despite fan interest.
