I'd hazard a guess and say that I think you are correct in that assumption.

It was new news. The original lifting was to end of 2019-2020 season.

This is a new lifting for the start of the new season.

Maybe that was done before the new lifting of the 3pm restriction.

The timing of announcements has little to do with it being a schoolboy error or not. The FA and EPL should be working closely on these things so their actions are aligned in the interests of their members (EPL clubs also being members of the FA). It’s actually worse if the EPL didn’t know/hadn’t considered this was realistically coming, find an answer and work with their commercial partners in the UK to make at least 1 game per week available.

Anyone know which channel(s) are showing live coverage of next week's England games in Iceland and Denmark?

ozsat · 31-08-2020, 11:55

Sky Sports have the rights but are not listing any yet.

I saw that somewhere, just doubting it as we are so close to the games (Wales first match is Thursday) and nothing in the EPG.

There's no doubt, definitely on Sky as they have the rights, it's just Sky haven't worked out yet which channel to put it on.

If sky have the rights the main game each day will almost certainly be on SkyFoot.

It would be nice to see it in the EPG.

True. I guess it depends on how many other games are on at the same time. As we all know sky have used sky one in the past for live games.

SS Football has an EFL Cup Retro - Man City v Sunderland 13-14 at 5pm on Saturday.

SS Main has PGA Tour Golf

SS Football still favourite for me - but none of the Home Nations games are in the EPG (even on Sky)

ozsat · 01-09-2020, 12:41

England game is on Sky Sports Football from 4.30pm
