On Friday 28th November, the Blues visit Oxford United with an 8pm kick-off.

The Boxing Day match at Millwall will kick-off at 1pm and the game at Coventry City three days later will now start at 6pm.

All the live Sky games until the weekend if 10th January 2026 have now been announced.

In addition to those matches, the opening weekend game at Birmingham City on Friday 8th August (KO 8pm), the Carabao Cup tie at Bromley on Tuesday 12th August (also 8pm), at home to Southampton on Sunday 17th August (12pm) and against Sheffield United at Portman Road on Friday 12th September (KO 8pm) had already been selected by Sky.

PhuketPete added 16:39 - Jul 29 Unbelievable that Sky can get away with picking a Friday 8pm slot for a game hundreds of miles away. Town fans won’t get home until 4pm or thereabouts.

December1963 added 16:40 - Jul 29 So no chance of getting home after the Middlesbrough game unless you drive, again extra cost and no thought for away fans. The mighty Sky pound strikes again. Thanks for nothing.

Paulc added 16:48 - Jul 29 I don't get to many games these days due to work/family commitments so whilst I get the annoyance to the travelling fans (especially the Boro example) at least I'll get to see loads of games. Derby games at 12.30 are also crap but we're used to that. Not unexpected really take the positive, we're clerly massive!

chepstowblue added 17:07 - Jul 29 The moronic sky presenters mas***bate with glee when they announce these dates, expecting the rest of the footballing world to rejoice with them. Deep down, anybody with a soul longs for the fast disappearing days of 3pm on a Saturday.

RaymondovicBlue added 17:15 - Jul 29 PHIL - please can you confirm the new date of the Oxford away game as you have a typo I htink .... "On Friday 28th November, the Blues’ visit to Oxford United has moved to Friday 28th October, also with an 8pm kick-off." There is no Friday 28th October, but there IS a Friday 29th November which I assume is when the game is? Thanks as ever

Blue_Heath added 17:49 - Jul 29 Boro away Friday nearly as good as Plymouth away Sunday morning a few years back. So much for the fans.

Linkboy13 added 17:53 - Jul 29 I echo everyone's thoughts on the ridiculous kick off times and changing of dates. Im amazed there hasn't been some sort of protest up and down the country. The Derby away game i like to make a long weekend of it but cannot book anywhere to stay in fear they will change the date. Such is the power of Sky the club's are powerless to do anything about it. This is probably my last season following the Town as the years have crept up on me but i wont be subscribing to Sky or any satellite station.

MickMillsTash added 18:37 - Jul 29 BULLLLLLL SH!111111T SKY genuinely don't give a toss about fans or players Hull away Tuesday night - No way that the A1 will be open all the way home, back to Ipswich at 3am and then - Oxford away on a Friday night- Both of these games will be on Sky and one match will have Ipswich reserves playing in one of them. Middleboro away on a Friday - Who in their right mind drives on a Friday afternoon in the UK ? Friday night games after the international break giving our players 1 day less rest. HIrst will be coming back from Belarus for one of these its not good for the fans, the viewers or the players - Total SH1TE! If Friday games exist the number that any club are involved should be limited, shared around fairly, and they should never be on after a midweek match. We have somehow got 4 Friday games in the first 4 months. If you live away from Ipswich how do you get holiday for the 9 games that are midweek or Friday night in the first half of the season (this is without Cup and Xmas games). AND there are 4 midweekers scheduled in 2026 - before Sky £u(k that up as well if there is anyone from Sky reading this - I'd like to have a fight .
