Sky Sports have unveiled UK broadcast picks across Easter 2026 in the Sky Bet Championship. 

Middlesbrough kicks off a quadruple-header of Championship action on Good Friday 3 April as they meet Millwall at the Riverside Stadium in a huge showdown in the race for promotion at 12:30pm BST.

Sky then turn their attention to a clash affecting both ends of the table as relegation-battling Oxford United host promotion-chasing Hull at Kassam Stadium in a 3pm kick–off.

Teatime action comes from St Mary’s Stadium as Southampton host Ipswich at 5:30pm, albeit subject to the Saints losing at Fulham in the fifth round of this season’s FA Cup on Sunday 8 March, otherwise the fixture will be rearranged and still broadcast live on Sky at a later date.

League leaders, Coventry bring the curtain down on the Good Friday action as they host Derby in a 8pm kick-off at CBS Arena.

Easter Monday 6 April also sees another quadruple-header of live Championship action as Sky commence their coverage with Oxford Utd’s trip to Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Play-off chasing Watford then host Charlton Athletic in the 3pm kick-off at Vicarage Road, before Middlesbrough head to Swansea in a 5:30pm kick-off.

Hull concludes the Easter Monday action with a home clash against Coventry at MKM Stadium.

All other fixtures will remain at 3pm on both dates and be broadcast live on Sky Sports+ Red Button in the UK.
