I thought that TV could not show games live at the same time as other teams are playing. I believe a full EFL programme tonight so how come Sky are showing Cardiff v Leeds live?

    I think the rules changed for this season ( or maybe just for Leeds!)

    Yes, it's actually illegal NOT to show a Leeds game live.

    Is that why they're on again at the weekend?

    its the 3 pm games on a Saturday which are covered by statute, whilst there are rules about showing games at same time as champions league games which is a contractual rule ie champions league supersedes everything :(
