Sky Sports are once again the exclusive home of the EFL Championship for the upcoming 2021/22 season and this weekend you can watch AFC Bournemouth’s trip to Middlesbrough live on Sky Sports.
Unfortunately for the team and travelling supporters, it’s a 12.30 pm kick-off.
Rounding off December, the Cherries feature on Sky twice, with our visit to Loftus Road to face Queens Park Rangers rearranged for Monday 27th December at 5.30 pm as that will also be shown on Sky Sports Football and the home game against Cardiff City on Thursday 30th December at 7.45 pm being shown on the Sky Sports red button service.
Coverage on Sky Sports Football’s red button service (and app) usually includes one static camera with one commentator. There are normally no replays of the action or multiple camera angles as these are available via EFL Clubs streaming services.
In January our trip to Luton Town will also be featured on Sky Sports, the game will now take place on Saturday 15th January with an earlier kick-off time of 12:30 pm.
AFC Bournemouth have made a few appearances on Sky Sports already this season, starting with the opening game of the season against West Bromwich Albion at Dean Court and then again for the visit of Queens Park Rangers to the south coast. Three away games then followed with the trips to Stoke City, Peterborough United (red button) and Reading all shown on television.
The home fixture against Preston North End was also shown on the red button, before three more away trips were shown on Sky, Derby County, Millwall (red button) and Fulham.
This season’s FA Cup will be exclusive to both the BBC and ITV, meaning all games will be free-to-air on terrestrial television.
