They've moved it to when?! How TV is already rearranging Yorkshire football fans' lives for 2016-17

SWITCHED ON: Both Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United have been chosen for the live TV cameras on the opening weekend of the 2016-17 Championship season. Picture: Steve Ellis.

Do not let it be said that the TV cameras have ignored Yorkshire clubs in the first month of the campaign, although for many supporters that means one thing. Disruption.

Eight fixtures will be screened live on Sky Sports or BT Sport, including a double-header on the opening weekend of the Championship season when Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday will take on QPR and Aston Villa respectively in what amounts to a ‘Super Sunday’ on August 7.

On August 13, the Owls are again in televised action in their first away Championship game of the season at Norwich City with a tea-time kick-off.
