Sky Sports will once again be the exclusive home of the EFL Championship for the upcoming 2021/22 season and their coverage will begin at Dean Court.
AFC Bournemouth host newly relegated from the Premier League, West Bromwich Albion on the opening weekend of the season, which has now been moved to accommodate the Sky Sports cameras.
The game will now take place on Friday 6th August with a 7.45 pm kick-off time and will be live on Sky Sports Football.
That game however is not the only one scheduled for a television appearance for AFC Bournemouth in August, as the Cherries trip to Birmingham City on Wednesday 18th August, which kicks off at 7.45 pm is also set to appear on Sky Sports Football’s red button service.
Coverage on Sky Sports Football’s red button service 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.
Currently, these are the only games scheduled for television coverage as Sky Sports have made most of their selections for broadcasting in the Championship and EFL Cup for the opening month of the season.
AFC Bournemouth start the 2021/22 campaign at Dean Court in the EFL Cup, which has been moved to Saturday 31st July.
This seasons FA Cup will be exclusive to both the BBC and ITV, meaning all games will be free-to-air on terrestrial television.
