Details of what will be shown on Sky Sports Mix.
The launch date of Sky Sports Mix is the 24th Aug at 12pm. It will show live European Golf, EFL and Cricket in the first week:
This is the schedule for the first 3 days:
The live sport on Sky Sports Mix during those 3 days is as follows:
Wed 24 Aug:
1.30pm - Live ODI cricket: England v Pakistan
Thur 25 Aug:
10.30am - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (1st session)
2.30pm - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (2nd session)
Fri 26 Aug:
10.30am - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (1st session)
2.30pm - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (2nd session)
7.00pm - Live EFL: Burton v Derby
The channel runs for 24 hours per day so there is also a whole host of highlights and filler programming - including ODI highlights and EFL Cup highlights.
The following week. Live sport is as follows:
Sat 27 Aug:
8am – Live Rugby Union – New Zealand v Australia
12pm – Live F1 – Belgium GP Qualifying
7.15pm – Live La Liga – Real Madrid v Celta Vigo
12.30am – Live MLS – Toronto v Montreal
Sun 28 Aug:
11.30am – Live F1 – Belgium GP Race
Thur 1 Sept:
7.30pm – Live Super league – Wigan v Widnes
No live sport on Mon 29 Aug, Tue 30 Aug, Wed 31 Aug or Fri 2 Sep.
During the 7 days from 27/08/16 to 02/09/16 in addition to the live sport posted above there will be:
- European Tour golf highlights
- F1 Show
- EFL Goals
- Goals on Sunday
- South Africa v New Zealand Test cricket highlights
- England v Pakistan ODI cricket highlights
- Netball Superleague Grand Final replay (ie not live)
However no PL Game of the Day, Match Choice or PL highlights programmes (other than what is shown within Goals on Sunday).
The first 10 days so far suggests that there is going to be a lot of variation - so we just don't know what will be on in subsequent weeks.
Looking at the first 5 days (ie Wed 24 Aug to Sun 28 Aug) it's possible they have started very strongly to make an impact and that the amount of live sport will then start to reduce, but we'll have to wait and see.
According to an advisor, all Now TV subscribers are set to receive Sky Sports Mix as a teaser channel.
What do sports fans (of which i'm not a great fan) think of this lineup?
