Four of Swansea City's upcoming Championship fixtures have been chosen for live broadcast by Sky Sports. The home fixtures against Middlesbrough and Cardiff, plus away trips to Luton and Bournemouth, will all be shown by the EFL rights holder. The Liberty Stadium meeting with Middlesbrough on Saturday, March 6 will remain on its original date and retain its 3pm kick-off time. The game against Luton at Kenilworth Road will now kick off at 12.15pm on Saturday, March 13, while the Swans' away clash with Bournemouth remains at 7.45pm on Tuesday, March 16. The final selection is the home South Wales derby against Cardiff City, which will start at the later time of 5.30pm on Saturday, March 20. Those broadcast picks mean five of Swansea's games in March will be shown on Sky. The game at Stoke on Wednesday, March 3 (8.15pm) had previously been announced as a Sky game.
Before Covid, it was something like: The EFL hand out to Championship clubs £100,000 for every home game that a club hosts on Sky Sports, with that figure going up to £120,000 for games being played on a Sunday and £140,000 for Thursday games. Visiting sides are awarded £10,000 per game.
