EFL television picks: Eight Yorkshire clubs handed new fixture dates for Sky Sports coverage
Eight Yorkshire clubs have been picked for live Sky Sports coverage in the early weeks of 2027.
The Football League has updated its fixture list to include all live games up to the first weekend of March, and the cameras will be at two
League One Yorkshire derbies in late January. Sheffield Wednesday v Doncaster Rovers (January 23) and Huddersfield v Bradford City the following Saturday have both been moved to 12.30pm kick-offs as a result. They are the reverse of two eventful October games, the first of which saw Henrik Pedersen sacked as Owls manager, the second a 3-0 Huddersfield win at Valley Parade. Middlesbrough fans planning to travel to Bristol City now face a Friday-night game on February 5, and the visit of Birmingham City will kick off the weekend a fortnight later, whereas both Sheffield United's televised games that month are Saturday 12.30pm affairs. Rotherham United fans have the option of staying at home when the team is due at Newport County on January 19, one of two Millers games selected. York City will also get the Sky treatment at home to Grimsby Town on January 30 (12.30pm).
