Later Kick-Off For Southampton Trip But Game Could Still Switch Date
Wednesday, 4th Mar 2026 12:09

Town’s Championship game at Southampton on Friday 3rd April has moved to a 5.30pm kick-off for live Sky Sports coverage but could still be subject to a switch of date.

The Good Friday match, which was previously set to get under way at 3pm, taking place as now scheduled depends on the Saints’ FA Cup progress.

If the Hampshire side make it through to round six of the FA Cup, then that tie would be played that weekend. The Saints face Fulham at Craven Cottage in round five on Sunday.

How we need Fulham to win that match. Having to play two games in hand within the final three weeks of the season is not ideal, especially with Pompey being postponed twice for matters out of our control.

Can anyone work out when the dates of the rest of the matches in April will be announced? Concensus online seems to suggest this Friday but many other theories abound... so hard to make plans like this

They're waiting for this weekend to play out. If Soton AND Norwich get through then will leave Portsmouth free to be played on Good Friday given scum have them then.

But unless this unlikely scenario plays out there are only two weeks it could be - the one after Norwich and the final week of the season. Annoyingly Sky scheduled Portsmouth v Derby on Mon 16th March so knocked out that as a potential given it's the only other free midweek. Worst scenario is Soton get through and Norwich don't. So prob best to hope they both do so we don't end up having to support the Green and Yellows on sunday...

Btw bradforblues - noticed the Boro fans on Monday have cottoned onto that chant for Sarmiento too!?

You might as well plan that all our games are going to be on TV from Now on.
Boro home on a Friday night ?
