Leeds United snubbed for Premier League TV coverage as Chelsea game ignored by broadcasters

The Premier League have announced a revised schedule for fixtures in March and none of Leeds United's games have been selected to be broadcast on television, including a trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.

All three of Leeds' top-flight fixtures in Matchweeks 26-28 (March 4 to 19) haven not been chosen by broadcasters for television coverage in the latest round of games. Instead, the Whites' matches away to Chelsea and Wolves and at home to Brighton have all been confirmed for a 3pm (GMT) kick-off slot on their respective Saturdays.

Current rules mean that Saturday 3pm kick-offs cannot be broadcast live, meaning that for those unable to travel to Stamford Bridge and Molineux, they will not be able to legally watch the game in the UK as it happens. Brighton's trip to Elland Road will allow home fans able to get a ticket to go and see their side in action against the Seagulls.
