Can Sky show a live match when BT/BBC show the FA Cup?
Asking as Barnsley could be moved around that weekend. They have Newcastle v Villa on the Monday but nothing else.
Maybe not on this occasion but in the future.

Don't think they are allowed to.

But Barnsley game is within their criteria for not being able to move games, 4 or 5 weeks notice I think has to be given.

We host Derby on March 11th isn't that also fa cup 6th round day - hopefully that means the 3pm ko won't be changed?
I could do with that one actually being 3pm On a saturday as dreading it being the 5.30pm game as I'd have to miss it

Sky like showing this fixture, I think it's likely it will be changed.

Leeds v Villa was 5.30pm on the Saturday of the 2nd round so I guess it was on Sky.

I have noticed that as well.

First noticed it when CH was managing Newcastle and was shown on Newcastle' return to PL - At the time I wondered why ? - but later I noticed they always covered it. I have a feeling that someone high up at Sky is a Villa fan because they seem to get more than their fair share of televised matches
