Accrington ST's live television schedule for the 2026/27 EFL season has been confirmed by Sky Sports. The broadcaster announced its selections for games up to early January on Tuesday 25 August 2026, detailing over 1,000 live matches across its platforms.

Stanley will be shown live at least four times before the New Year. Their first televised outing is a League Two away fixture against Oldham Athletic on Saturday 10 October, kicking off at 12:30pm. They then host Rotherham United in a Boxing Day clash at the Wham Stadium on Saturday 26 December. The new year begins with a home game against Shrewsbury Town on Friday 1 January, followed by a trip to Chesterfield on Saturday 9 January.

What are Accrington ST's live TV dates?

The full list of confirmed live Accrington ST matches on Sky Sports is now available. After the Oldham game in October, fans can watch the Boxing Day fixture against Rotherham. The New Year's Day match versus Shrewsbury has a 3pm kick-off. The early January schedule concludes with the away game at Chesterfield, which is part of the 12:30pm broadcast slot on January 9. Every one of the 72 EFL clubs is guaranteed to be featured live more than 20 times across the entire season, according to Sky's announcement.

How does the TV schedule fit with current form?

The broadcast picks come as Accrington ST seeks to improve its early-season position. The club currently sits 19th in League Two with one point from two games, following a loss and a draw. Their recent form reads LD, with two goals scored and four conceded for a -2 goal difference. This leaves Stanley five points behind the early leaders, Barnet. The upcoming televised matches offer a chance to build momentum and climb the standings.

Sky Sports customers can watch all live EFL football on TV or stream via the Sky Sports App. Matches will be broadcast either on Sky Sports' main channels or on the dedicated Sky Sports+ service. For supporters without a Sky subscription, flexible contract options are available through NOW. The broadcaster confirmed that selections for matches from March 2027 onwards will be announced on a rolling four-week basis.

What comes next for Accrington ST?

With the television schedule set, the focus returns to on-pitch performance ahead of these high-profile fixtures. The team's immediate task is to convert opportunities and tighten a defence that has conceded four times. Integrating the broadcast dates with the full fixtures list will be key for planning. Managerial and squad preparations will now factor in these specific kick-off times as Accrington ST aims to use the national exposure as a springboard for results.
