Swindon clash with title challengers moved for live TV coverage
Swindon Town's home clash against League Two promotion-challengers Bradford City has been moved for live coverage on Sky Sports. Sky have announced their latest round of televised fixtures in the EFL and that has seen the April match against The Bantams get moved. The Bradford game will now kick off at 12.30 pm on April 12, with Bradford visiting Wiltshire hoping to continue their title hunt as they are presently two points off Walsall at the summit of League Two. This is the seventh 3 pm kick-off this season that Swindon have had moved to be shown on Sky Sports or Sky Sports + as part of the new TV deal, including this Saturday's West Country derby against Cheltenham Town. The game will be between two of League Two's form teams, with City having taken the most points in the last 15 games, and Swindon have amassed the third-most. Town have come out victorious in their last two home matches against Bradford, 2-0 last season through goals from Charlie Austin and Dawson Devoy and Jonny Williams scored the only goal of the game in 2022/23. This season's TV deal means that each League Two club will be shown at least 20 times across the various EFL competitions.
