Six weeks remain until the action gets underway on the weekend of August 4-6, but that hasn’t stopped broadcaster Sky Sports from making an early indication of which games they will televise.

Although Sky is yet to officially announce which games will air, the kick off times are in line with the usual television schedule for opening weekend fixtures.

Judging by the times chosen, it appears four matches will be aired live on Sky, with a potential for one extra if a 3pm Saturday clash ends up being moved to the later 5.30pm slot.
