Leicester City’s journey in the 2023/24 season, following their unexpected relegation from the Premier League, is attracting significant attention with several fixtures set for live broadcast on Sky Sports. Enzo Maresca, now leading the rebuilding effort in the Sky Bet Championship, aims to guide the Foxes back to the Premier League.
Sky Sports secured the broadcast rights for the EFL until the end of the 2028/29 season in a groundbreaking deal worth £935 million. This includes a record number of over 1,000 matches each season, ensuring extensive coverage for football fans.
Leicester City, being a popular choice for TV broadcast, has some notable fixtures scheduled for live coverage. Sky Sports has selected the Foxes’ clash against West Brom on Saturday, December 2nd (12:30) as a featured game. Another live broadcast is set for Monday, December 18th (20:00) when Leicester faces Birmingham City at St Andrew’s. The festive season will see Leicester in action on Boxing Day against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Additionally, Leicester City will feature on Sky Sports’ Red Button for midweek Championship fixtures. The upcoming matches on the Red Button include Sheffield Wednesday vs. Leicester City on Wednesday, November 29th (19:45) and Leicester City vs. Millwall on Wednesday, December 13th (19:45)
For international fans, Leicester City’s in-house streaming service, Foxes Hub, offers broadcast coverage of all Championship fixtures. However, certain territories, including the USA, Turkey, and various European countries, are excluded from streaming due to international broadcast arrangements.
The detailed list of territories excluded from international streaming during midweek Championship fixtures is extensive, including several countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe. Nonetheless, the Foxes’ global fanbase can still enjoy the matches through Foxes Hub, barring the specified regions.
