Northampton Town have seen two of their League One games in December and January selected for live TV broadcast by Sky Sports.
The Cobblers’ games against Peterborough United and Burton Albion will now have new kick-off times for Sky TV broadcast, with both games moving as part of a greater announcement of TV picks by Sky Sports between October and mid-January.
The Nene Valley Derby between the Cobblers and Peterborough at Sixfields will be shown on Monday 9th December 2024 and will take place as an 8pm kick-off. The game was originally scheduled for a 3pm slot on Saturday 7th December.
The other game that will be moved by Sky will be the Cobblers’ trip to play Burton Albion, which was scheduled for Saturday 4th January 2025.
The match at the Pirelli Stadium will remain on that date, but will now be a 12:30pm kick-off rather than a 3pm one.
Northampton’s other game to have had a date change for TV purposes was previously announced last month, in the form of a match against Wycombe in mid-September.
Sky have chosen the Northampton v Wycombe game for a TV broadcast on Saturday 14th September, with the game being a 12:30pm kick-off.
The EFL broadcaster is also televising all opening day fixtures in all 3 of the EFL tiers, which includes the Cobblers’ opening day trip to Bristol Rovers, along with all games in international break weekends.
