FOOTBALL - Coventry City's home game against Southampton selected for TV coverage

Aaron Sutcliffe 18th Feb, 2026   0

COVENTRY City’s home game against Southampton next month has been selected for live television coverage by Sky Sports.

The Sky Blues will host Saints at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday, March 14 with kick-off at the earlier time of 12.30pm.

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football.

The game was originally due to kick-off at 3pm.

However, the fixture has now been moved forward to 12.30pm for broadcast purposes.

Coventry drew 1-1 away at Southampton in December earlier this season.




Tempers boiled over after the final whistle with both clubs subsequently fined by the Football Association (FA).

A regulatory commission imposed a fine of £30,000 on Coventry and £22,000 on Southampton.


The FA alleged both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or technical area staff did not behave in improper and/or provocative way after the final whistle.
