    Part of the Sky deal.

    It should be noted that all Championship clubs have received two home Tuesday fixtures and two Wednesday home fixtures to ensure that the terms of the broadcasting agreement with SKY Sports are met with midweek fixtures split as equally as possible over each midweek. That arrangement is mirrored for away fixtures.

  • Theres always mid week games in the championship

    Remember, it's all about Sky ...... they couldn't give a toss about the fans who actually go to the match.


  • Last season all midweek championship matches were available live via the red button. They split them over Tuesdays and Wednesdays so they have roughly an even number of games each night. Guessing this will continue this season.

    Yes I'm not that daft, I realise that. It's just that Charlton have always (well nearly always) played their midweek home games on Tuesday nights. However thank everyone for clearing that up - should have guessed it was something to do with Sky!!
  • wednesday is a better night for me
  • Also got to remember that there are more midweek games that are mandatory for the Championship because we wont have games for the International Break

    Means there will be no worrying about buying tickets for games and wondering if we'll have enough international call ups for our game to be cancelled and so be unable to attend the re-arranged fixture.

    Although the FA Cup may still see games re-arranged

    5th round F A Cup is midweek so won't effect us
    4th Round shouldnt effect us either unless Fulham win their 3rd Round game
  • 5th round F A Cup is midweek so won't effect us

    4th round doesn't normally affect us anyway ...... players already looking forward to an extra day off in January. :smile:

    Oh ye of little faith. 100th year at The Valley and it would be exactly 73 years since we last won it. An omen if ever there was one.

    On reflection - yes a week off in January will help us concentrate on the league.

    Not sure if this a LOL ?
  • Can’t believe it, what were the odds of Leeds being on Sky on the first weekend of the season! Genuinely shocked 😮

    That’s because Millwall had Monday night, Charlton had Tuesday night and Palace had Wednesday night.

    It’s only been Tuesdays since we’ve been in League one.

  • No it hasn't.  90%  of evening games have been played on a Tuesday evening.

    Always, always been a Tuesday for midweek fixtures as long as I can remember. But then again, I think I have dementia and can't recall what I was doing 10 mins ago

    I've been going for 50+ years and Tuesday's was always our night - many of those seasons were spent in the old Second Division, today's Championship.
  • There were definitely Wednesdays in the Championship and the Premiership.
  • I go back to 1972 watching midweek games and we've always played Tuesdays.
    It's possible that there were some Wednesday games if JaShea99 remembers them, but there couldn't have been too many.
  • Is today Tuesday? If not, it use to be.

    “Forest's trip to Charlton Athletic on August 21 will also be shown live as a main game with other midweek matches that Wednesday evening shown via the red button”

    Just seen this on The Nottingham Post, Forest home game is live on Sky.
