TV time changes for more Huddersfield Town and Middlesbrough FC Championship fixtures

CHAMPIONSHIP play-off rivals Huddersfield Town and Middlesbrough will see both their Easter matches screened live on Sky Sports, including their crunch Championship fixture on Easter Monday.

The game, originally scheduled to kick off at 3pm, will now start at the Riverside Stadium on Monday, April 18 at 12.30pm.

The Terriers’ record on Teesside is poor, losing eight times on their past nine winless visits.

That said, Middlesbrough was the venue of one of Town’s finest hours with promotion to the top-flight clinched there in the spring of 1970, with Steve Smith scoring in a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, Boro’s Good Friday game at Bournemouth (Friday, April 15) will also be televised and will kick off at 3pm. Town’s home match with QPR will follow after at 5.30pm, also on Sky.

Town’s latest TV fixture changes mean that yet more of their games will be televised.

The Terriers’ FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest earlier this month was shown on ITV4, while Sky screened the league game at West Brom.
