Thanks for that.

Would the police have a say on the matter? Can imagine the chaos if fans were out from mid afternoon on the lash

I don’t know about the Police, could well be a factor.

I read some other articles that say the PL dont want to complete against prime-time saturday night TV - Strictly C.D etc...

Although this article mentions BT have the rights for 7.45 kick offs until 2025 for teams involved in CL. Sort of wrapped up that if they show a team on Wednesday evening they have a good say to show them again 7.45/8 on Saturday. We all know that wednesday KO and Saturday Lunchtime never goes down well with management.

Fans slam BT Sport's decision to create ANOTHER new Premier League kick off time - Fan Banter

Fans have decided to slam BT Sport’s decision to create ANOTHER new Premier League kick off time, which was confirmed on Thursday. The broadcaster have made a decision to introduce a Saturday evening kick off time for those teams involved in Champions League on a Wednesday. The Premier League...

I think 5.30 works for most as an evening kick off for travel and best ratings window.

Ultimately, city and liverpool will both qualify but we wont know the draw/days/times until 18th March so doubt theyll confirm Sunday.

I hate the 12:30 kick off’s, I could tolerate the odd Match at 19:45 but it should be limited to one per season. Why they have us playing the Dippers in between CL quarters is ridiculous.

Yes, tbf I can’t imagine they are over the moon about it either.
Anyway, come on, get these games announced.

The Liverpool game with its either/or scenarios has been discussed at length elsewhere but it's also been confirmed today that Burnley away isn't on TV and will be played at 3:00pm on Saturday 2nd April.
Premier League has said that TV games for the second half of April won't be finalised until after FA Cup sixth round draw. They presumably want to look at how the semi finals will possibly affect currently scheduled fixtures.

When Premier League announced the April (first half) fixtures, they said:

"The Premier League matches selected for live television broadcast in the United Kingdom for the first two match rounds in April have been confirmed. Please note that the remaining April TV picks will be confirmed shortly after the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals on 3 March."

I guess, they're now waiting for the CL draw next week on 18th to announce these? Or maybe after that is done, then they'd think let's wait for the FA Quarter Finals to take place on 19th/20th now and then see how April shapes up??

Still no news on the three gameweeks in April, which for us is Wolves (A), Watford (H) and Leeds (A).


PS. Usually when I come post here questioning when the next lot of TV fixtures would come in, they magically drop by later within a day or two so here's hoping ...

Three fixtures rescheduled in April

Two of Manchester City’s April fixtures have been rearranged to accommodate live TV coverage.
