SKY CONFIRM: “Oldham Athletic VS Southend United” Match Not to be Televised Due to Scheduling Clash
Sky Sports has officially confirmed that the upcoming National League Final Playoff clash between Oldham Athletic and Southend United will not be televised due to a scheduling conflict with higher-priority EFL and Premier League coverage. The broadcaster cited limited channel availability and existing commitments to more commercially attractive fixtures as the reason behind the decision.
Fans of both clubs have expressed disappointment, especially given the fixture’s growing significance in the playoff race. Supporters had hoped Sky would spotlight more lower-league encounters to promote the depth of English football.
Despite the match’s exclusion from live TV, both clubs have reassured fans that regular updates will be available through their respective social media channels and local radio.
Kick-off remains unchanged, and a large crowd is still expected at Boundary Park as both sides push for critical points in the final stages of the season.
