Two Blackpool games picked for Sky Sports coverage - here's how much they will earn

The Seasiders travel to Loftus Road on Tuesday, August 16 to face Michael Beale’s side in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

While the original date of the game is unchanged, the fixture will now kick-off at the later time of 8pm.

The all-Lancashire affair against Blackburn Rovers at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday, August 31 has also been pushed back to 8pm, having also been picked for live coverage.

“Under the terms of the EFL’s broadcasting deal, both games will therefore be unavailable to watch on Tangerine TV in countries covered by the agreement,” the Seasiders said.

The Seasiders will pocket £110,000 for the two games, with Championship clubs receiving £100,000 for televised home games and £10,000 when they’re away.
