Sky Sports has added 11 more live EFL games to its schedule, with Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland in front of the cameras in August.
Leeds face Nottingham Forest at Elland Road in a live lunchtime clash on Saturday, August 10, while Sunderland host Portsmouth the following weekend in an early chance to exact revenge for their Checkatrade Trophy final defeat.
West Brom’s trip to Derby (Saturday, August 24) and Middlesbrough’s visit to Bristol City are among the month’s big clashes, while Fulham’s games against the sides they were relegated with last season – Huddersfield and Cardiff – will both be televised.
Newly-promoted Luton Town kick-off the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship season at home to Middlesbrough on Friday August 2, live on Sky Sports Football.
That game is the first of five live Sky Sports Football fixtures across the EFL on the opening weekend.
Nottingham Forest host Slaven Bilic’s West Brom on Saturday, August 3 (5.30pm), Leeds go to Bristol City on Sunday, August 4 (4.30pm), and relegated Huddersfield host Derby on Monday, August 5 (7.45pm).
