Why is Wolves vs Chelsea not on TV?

Chelsea’s Premier League clash away at Wolves will not be broadcast on live TV in the UK.

The match has not been selected for broadcast on Sunday despite the fixture kicking off at 2pm.

It is not being aired on live TV in the UK as the game was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 24 at 3pm BST.

Even though the match is not now taking place at 3pm on a Saturday, it still cannot be broadcast live due to the 3pm blackout.

The Premier League clash was moved to Sunday due to Chelsea’s Europa Conference League play-off tie against Servette on Thursday night.

And due to the Blues playing on Thursday, they cannot be involved in a fixture on Saturday to allow appropriate rest for players.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle at 2pm will kick off Super Sunday live on Sky Sports this weekend, followed by Liverpool’s home clash against Brentford at 4.30pm.
