Sky Sports Live Premiership Schedule

Drag00n79

Sky apparently decided on it today, but I can't find anything apart from the Sunderland fixtures:

Liverpool vs Sunderland - Sunday Aug 21 2pm
Middlesbrough vs Sunderland - Monday Sept 26 8pm
Sunderland vs Manchester United - Sunday Oct 16 4pm
Newcastle vs Sunderland - Sunday Oct 23 4pm
Sunderland vs Birmingham City - Monday Nov 28 8pm

The kick-off times suggest that the Liverpool game would be broadcast on the Premiership Plus pay-per-view service, while the rest of the games would be shown on Sky Sports' "Super Sunday" and "Monday Night Football" programmes.

If anyone comes across the the rest of the fixtures, would they please post them up here. Thanks!

Very few Saturday matches on this list. I can only assume they have not been decided yet, Premiership Plus matches perhaps? Maybe they are only showing Saturday matches this season?

PHB

Seems like a very odd fixture list:

Onlu 8 out of 20 Man Utd games.
Last year in total 2 Man Utd games were not shown on TV.

These matches are not being shown
November:
22 Tottenham (H)
29 Middlesbrough (A)
December:
10 Everton (H)
31 Bolton (H)

These matches will definally be on TV, and I would absolutly expect Sky to show em.
Maybe they will be on prem plus, but the everton and bolton games not one of the main matchs of the weekend? I doubt it highly.

Then I figure these will be shown on RTE/Setanta(opps)/Prem Plus

20 Aston Villa (H)
24 Wigan (H)
24 Blackburn (H)
1 Fulham (A)
19 Charlton (A)
26 West Ham (A)
3 Portsmouth (H)
26 West Brom (H)

TV3 don't have Premiership rights. Setanta Sports Ireland perhaps.

Just noticed on the Spurs website that their first 3 games are as shown in the official PL fixture list (and tickets are on sale, so there'll be no change)

I was told on a Spurs fan site that the Sky matches were announced on July 4th last year, and by some bod at Sky during the week to expect a decision by the middle of July.

My guess is that if the clubs are in a position to start selling tickets then the TV list won't be long. This time next week is my guess.

Sky have always announced their schedule just a matter of days after the fixture lists are announced.

The unofficial list of matches above does not affect Spurs until they play Blackburn, which according to the Spurs site is still on Wed, 24th August. 7.45 instead of 8.00.

I see LJ's footy site and thecustard.tv are also using the unofficial list now.

So you agree with me then.

As pointed out earlier, the unofficial list seems incomplete. Two matches a weekend? You're having a laugh! There'll be at least three (one 4pm Sunday, one Monday night and one Prem Plus). So the announcement of ticket details for the Spurs games (albeit it with a 15 minute difference for the Blackburn match) means that the clubs are in a position to announce firm details, hence Sky are close to announcing their fixtures. Which was my point all along.

No, I'm not laughing at all! I never said the list was "complete". If you read it, my second post mentions there being very few Saturday matches on this list and how they might perhaps be still working out Prem+ games. I'm fully aware that Sky will show more than two matches a weekend.

Announced

Prem Plus

Mossy Monk

2 Arsenal games on Prem Plus

there's my reason not to subscribe

PHB

5 games, typical.
They know United fans are more likely to pay and that there are more of them thus put em on prem plus.
Thats annoying
But alas, they'll get my money
