Two Preston North End Championship fixtures rearranged for TV broadcast
Two of Preston’s fixtures have been picked for live broadcast by Sky Sports.
Preston North End have had two Championship fixtures rearranged.
The fixture list up until the new year is set in stone, but now two North End games in the early stages of 2027 have been selected for TV coverage and been moved as a result.
First up is the home game with Stoke City, which was initially scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on January 23.
Now, that match at Deepdale will take place under the lights on Friday night, January 22, with kick-off coming at 8pm. It will be shown on Sky Sports Football.
Next, the away trip to Lincoln City on Saturday, February 13, has been pushed back to a 5:30pm kick-off. Also to be televised on Sky Sports Football.
Sky Sports have now selected all the fixtures they will be televising up to and including the midweek fixtures of 2–3 March 2027, so no more North End games will be rearranged up until that point.
From then onwards, games selected for broadcast will be announced on a weekly basis, four weeks ahead of the scheduled game.
The EFL said in a statement: "Sky Bet EFL broadcast selections for the period up to and including the midweek of 2-3 March 2027 have now been confirmed.
"Fixtures selected for broadcast on the weekend of 5-8 March 2027 will be announced on or before 5 February 2027, with weekly announcements looking four weeks ahead.
"For example, fixtures selected for the weekend of 12-15 March 2027 will be announced by Friday 12 February 2027."
Preston's next game comes on Saturday against Southampton at Deepdale, before club football is paused for the final international break of the year.
