Sky Sports has made its final selections for the televised fixtures of the Championship’s last round of matches, marking the climax of an intense season. Despite Sheffield Wednesday’s pivotal involvement in a fight for survival at the bottom of the table, they have not been picked for broadcast on the ultimate day. The Owls find themselves in a high-stakes battle for Championship existence as they gear up to face Sunderland in their upcoming fixture, buoyed by a crucial victory over West Brom in their previous outing.
With just a solitary point standing between them and safety, or the possibility of still clinching it even in the event of a loss, provided that either Birmingham City or Plymouth Argyle falter, the tension will be palpable in their clash against the Black Cats. However, supporters unable to make it to the Stadium of Light will be unable to witness the drama unfold live on television, as Sky Sports has opted to showcase three alternative matchups instead.
Among the chosen fixtures, fans can anticipate the showdown between Leeds United and Southampton, as well as the encounter between Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town. These matches hold added significance as they contribute to the uncertainty surrounding the automatic promotion race, which remains wide open.
In addition to these, Sky Sports will provide coverage of the crucial relegation battle between Birmingham City and Norwich City, a fixture that holds immense implications for both clubs. Throughout the broadcast, updates on the Sheffield Wednesday game will be intermittently provided, ensuring that viewers stay abreast of developments in this pivotal match.
While the decision not to televise the Wednesday game may come as a disappointment to some, it’s a logical one, given the heightened stakes and broader implications of other teams facing relegation. Whether Sky Sports will include highlights from the Wednesday game or other relegation-threatened fixtures remains uncertain. Nevertheless, viewers can expect comprehensive coverage, including live score updates from across the league, ensuring that they remain fully informed about the survival scenarios unfolding on the final day of the Championship season.
