Three Hull City games moved for TV broadcast as fixture list changes confirmed

Hull City have had three games moved for broadcast in the opening weeks of the new Championship season. The Tigers' opening game of the campaign against Bristol City will be shown live on television as part of the new broadcast deal with Sky Sports which sees every game of the opening round shown live.

The new deal means all Championship clubs will be shown at least 24 times over the course of the season, which includes the opening day, all midweek games, all Carabao Cup games and also bank holiday games such as Boxing Day, New Year's Day and Easter weekend.

Now, on top of that, City have three further games confirmed on the broadcast schedule. City's game at home to Millwall on Saturday August 23 will now kick-off at 12:30pm to be broadcast in the lunchtime slot. The match at home to Sheffield United has been moved back a day and will now take place on Friday September 13 with an 8pm kick-off as the MKM Stadium hosts a night match.

The final game to be moved is the trip to Stoke City a week later with that game now held on Friday September 20, again with an 8pm kick-off.

The EFL had previously confirmed all TV games up to the end of September would be confirmed this week, with a promise to have all TV games in place up to January and the fixture schedule announced before the season gets underway next month.
