Reading to host Thursday Night Football as Sky Sports confirm latest television picks
The Royals are already on Sky for their first home match against Huddersfield Town on August 9, pushed forward to a 12.30pm kick-off.
A few days later, Reading's trip to Bolton Wanderers will be broadcast live on Wednesday, August 20.
Well now, Sky have confirmed their picks up to the first weekend in January, and three more fixtures have been selected, including two Thursday night picks.
On Thursday, November 6, Reading will host Stevenage, former loanee Chem Campbell's return with Alex Revell's Boro.
A trip to the seaside and Blackpool, on November 29, has now been brought forward to a 12.30pm kick-off at Bloomfield Road, which will no doubt impact upon the number of supporters making the three-and-a-half hour drive north.
In December, newly-relegated Luton Town will visit the SCL Stadium on a Thursday, this time December 18.
The next batch of broadcast selections will be confirmed by November 7 for all matches to be played between the end of the Third Round of the FA Cup and the last weekend of February 2026.
