Sky Sports +

Usually by now we’ve had booked travel for early games. But, EFL suggest they have until tomorrow to confirm telly selections until end of September. Assume that is Sky Sports Football but also all those games on the new + streaming service. To that effect, our kick off times for Lincoln through Burton might not be 3pm. Or Saturdays. Quite critical for booking trains for Crawley so we still waiting and prices high and going higher. A farce. Least Oct-Jan come out by 9 August.

 

I read last week that they're trying to ensure that the best part of 6 months worth of fixtures will have dates and times assigned to them. As you say, not ideal, but they're hoping to have the first 2 months out this week, and every game up to January before the start of the season. Hopefully we'll know the dates and times for every game by October by that logic.

 

Telly games up to FAC3 won’t be known until season kick off

 

But it still might get called off for international weekends

 

So around half of our matches will be on SS+ ?

Says featured over 20 times per season. Be similar to the red button coverage I guess for champ teams.

 

That's exactly what it is, plus 3 games every weekend too.

Sky Sports + (pronounced "Sky Sports Plus").

I once saw that written in a TV guide. At the time I wondered how else people might be pronouncing it.
