Next batch. From the Club...

SKY Sports broadcast selections have now been confirmed for the period up to the FA Cup third round,
the weekend of 11/12 January 2025, with six further QPR fixtures picked for live transmission.

Selections and adjusted kick-off times are as follows:

QPR v Coventry City - Tuesday 22nd October 2024, KO 8pm - Sky Sports Football

Watford v QPR - Saturday 30th November 2024, KO 12.30pm - Sky Sports Football

Bristol City v QPR - Saturday 14th December 2024, KO 12.30pm - Sky Sports+

Norwich City v QPR - Sunday 29th December 2024, KO 12.30pm - Sky Sports+

QPR v Watford - Wednesday 1st January 2025, KO 12.30pm - Sky Sports Football

QPR v Luton Town - Monday 6th January 2025, KO 8pm - Sky Sports Football

The EFL’s new record domestic deal with Sky Sports represents a 60% increase on the rights
value - and subsequently enhanced coverage for all clubs across the Sky Bet Championship, League One
and League Two.

Part of the deal has seen the EFL and Sky Sports commit to providing supporters with more notice for live TV selections
and subsequent kick-off amendments.

With picks now confirmed up until the FA Cup third round in early January, this increases the notice period from five
weeks to up to five months.

A reminder that while EFL clubs are no longer permitted to stream selected matches domestically from the ’24/25 campaign,
overseas fans using our very own QPR+ service will remain largely unaffected by the new broadcast deal. We can also
continue to provide live commentary of all league and cup fixtures.

Broadcast selections are subject to change due to fixture rearrangements in relation to international call-ups and Cup ties.

Sky Bet EFL fixtures will be broadcast via either an existing Sky Sports channel or Sky Sports+ - a new way for fans to
discover and stream live sport via a new channel and numerous live streams. Integrated into the current Sky TV experience
and the revamped Sky Sports mobile app, Sky Sports+ is available at no extra cost for subscribers of the full Sky Sports package.

All televised fixtures will also be available on streaming service NOW.

Thanks for this Steve.

Great to have better notice and assurance when booking flights.

[Steve Russell]

Made any plans yet mate?

[Conor Campbell]

Getting over for Millwall and Norwich home games so far Steve.

Great airfare prices on those dates. £37 return for Millwall and £38 return for Norwich.

Having a wee look now to see if I can get another game in for these confirmed match slots.

Looking forward to getting over!

[Conor Campbell]
