Bristol Rovers selected for Sky Sports coverage ending five-year TV hiatus

Bristol Rovers have been selected for live TV coverage for the first time in years with the Gas' trip to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday rescheduled to Wednesday, October 26 at 8pm on Sky Sports.

The Gas have not featured live on Sky Sports since the EFL Trophy semi-final defeat against Sunderland in March 2019. Rovers twice were shown on BT Sport later that year in FA Cup replays against Bromley and Plymouth Argyle.

But for a league game, it has been much longer since Rovers played in front of the live TV cameras, with the lion's share of the broadcaster's picks being spent on Championship games and the prestige clubs that have fallen into League One over the years, such as Sunderland, Derby County and Wednesday.
