A stacked Saturday of football will see two Premier League games and the conclusion of the Football League regular season televised. The final round of the Championship is first up at 12.30pm UK time, with plenty to be played out at both ends of the table.
League One and League Two will follow at 3pm, with all 36 EFL fixtures being available to watch for Sky Sports customers. It’s one of the rare examples of the blackout in English football being lifted.
However, it will still apply to the top-flight action. So Everton vs Ipswich Town and Leicester City vs Southampton will not be aired live.
TNT Sports selected Aston Villa vs Fulham as the early 12.30pm kick-off, while Sky will show Arsenal vs Bournemouth at 5.30pm. The latter broadcaster secured a landmark deal with the Football League last year that included all final day fixtures.
They can all be accessed on their Sky Sports+ channel, and two Championship fixtures have been selected for extended coverage. The clash between play-off contenders Coventry City and Middlesbrough will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event.
Two places remain up for grabs, but Bristol City, who host Preston North End, Millwall, who visit title challengers Burnley, and Blackburn Rovers, who travel to Sheffield United, are all in contention too.
Sky Sports Football will air relegation-threatened Luton Town’s trip to West Brom. With Plymouth Argyle effectively down alongside basement team Cardiff City courtesy of their goal difference, Luton are fighting to avoid the final relegation spot.
A positive result for Hull City, who are away at already safe Portsmouth, would force the Hatters to require something of their own at the Hawthorns. Also in the mix are Preston as well as Derby County and Stoke City, who face one another at Pride Park.
Come 3pm, Sky Sports Football will be showing Huddersfield Town vs Leyton Orient. The hosts are already consigned to another season in the third tier, but their opponents need three points to secure the final play-off spot up for grabs – or risk leaving the door open for Reading to take advantage.
Automatic promotion and relegation have already been decided in League One, and Carlisle United and Morecambe have been confirmed as the two demoted sides in League Two. But there’s still a lot to be figured out at the other end of the table in the fourth division.
Donaster Rovers and Port Vale are vying for the title, Bradford City, Walsall and Notts County are in a three-way battle for the final automatic slot, and two of AFC Wimbledon, Salford City, Grimsby Town, Chesterfield and Colchester United will join the others in the play-offs.
