Not sure if it has any bearing on our/PL fixtures but Sky have released their first few fixtures for start of the season. 

 

They've got a Friday night game (Watford vs Boro) so may be there won't be a PL Friday night fixture?

The 3pm blackout shouldn't be a problem in September as no clubs above the third level of non-league can accommodate fans in stadia. There is no excuse for not allowing fans to see matches in some way. 

Yeah true, wasn't the whole point of the 3pm blackout to minimise any temptation for fans not to go to local matches on favour of premier league matches on tv? 

 

When fans cant go to any matches (above step 3?) it doesnt really make any sense.

I personally hope they keep the blackout in place if it means more people get out to watch non-league at the levels where coronavirus has put many clubs under threat. I'm definitely hoping to do a bit of groundhopping this season instead of spending my Saturdays on the settee watching City streams buffer at crucial moments.

Very fair points.

So if Sky are doing this for the EFL, why the hell can't they sort something for the prem?

Because they want to protect their exclusivity. Makes no commercial sense for them to do the same.

Assuming EFL not PL fixtures? Any idea on the release date for PL?

They're not really that interested in the EFL so they're  not paying much for it but it gives them extra subscribers and fill gaps in their schedules.

But I seem to recall at the end of last season season ticket holders at EFL clubs could watch the games on an EFL online streaming service rather than through Sky. This is something the PL could and should consider but it will never happen

And true to form, many couldn't get it working on the first weekend because of a glitch.

The campaigning steps up a few gears

 

https://thefsa.org.uk/news/influential-mp-and-fans-call-on-premier-league-to-reverse-broadcast-lock-out/

 

Please have a complete read of the PDF, it's shocking that fans who have attended games for many years won't have access while the most of the rest of the world watches games

Believe it’s because the Prem are two fixtures short on the weekend. 
 

Saturday 1230

Saturday 1730

Super Sunday 1400 & 1630

Super Sunday 1400 & 1630 West Brom v Leicester, Fulham v Arsenal

MNF 2000 Brighton v Chelsea

 

My guess, they're bound to start at Anfield. Is the lunchtime slot Sky or BT this season?

So no way of watching Burnley at home in the UK...

Hopefully we'll be able to watch through LCFC tv or something. You'd like to think if it was going to happen though they'd want to get it sorted and announced by the end of next week.

They better do, there’s no way I’m putting stringer on.
