Four Southampton games have been selected for television coverage during October and November.

 

Saints’ games against Burnley, Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton will all be shown live on Sky Sports.

 

Claude Puel’s men will also take on Leicester City and Hull City away from home on Sundays due to their UEFA Europa League commitments.

 

Saints’ game against champions Leicester City at the King Power Stadium will get under way at 2.15pm BST on Sunday 2nd October.

 

After the international break, Saints will return to action live on Sky Sports, as they welcome Burnley to St Mary’s on Sunday 16th October, with a kick-off time of 4pm BST.

 

A week later, Saints’ game against Manchester City will also be shown live on Sky Sports. The game at the Etihad Stadium will kick-off at 1.30pm BST on Sunday 23rd October.

 

The month will end with another game on Sky Sports, as Saints welcome Chelsea on Sunday 30th October, with the game getting under way at 4pm GMT.

 

A kick-off time for Saints’ trip to Hull City, which takes place on Sunday 6th November, is yet to be confirmed.

 

After welcoming Liverpool to St Mary’s on Saturday 19th November, Saints will then entertain former manager Ronald Koeman and his Everton side at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday 27th November, again live on Sky Sports.

 

 

 

So the game at Arsenal in September will be the last time we play on a Saturday until the 19th November against Liverpool!

Blimey that is quite a lot of games for us tbf, 4 in two months especially considering there is a international break.

Not to forget that I'd expect all 6 of our Europa League games to be televised as well

 

That should be quite a lot of income coming in for us tbh

Better let Les know so he can up our targets in the transfer market. Good for the club to cash in but still a pain for fans.

 

On a personal note I find Sunday games to be frustrating, can't enjoy sociable beverages in the evening and has a negative impact on the atmosphere, also harder to find cheap rail fares . No Saturday home games for three months is crazy.

That's a shame - you'll have now to come up with another excuse not to get married

Even worse if you play football Sunday afternoons. I'm just a competent player and not vital to the team, but I still feel guilty when I can't make it.

I think BT will be showing all 6 Europa group games though.

Will they if we are playing at the same time as Utd and WHU?

There are two kick off times - one at 6pm and the other at 8.05pm, and they have multiple channels so there is no excuse not to.

Why is the Saints v Burnley game considered worthy of broadcasting to the country at this stage of the season ?

[whelk]

There are more games to show so going to have to be a few of these.

Key battle in our relegation fight

 

But seriously, you wouldn't want them to always show the Top 6 right?

 

 

It is bad enough as it is in that regard.

 

It is the Premier League, not the Top 6 + the rest.

BT have got one game a week.

[saintquin]

Reading the paper this morning and I don't know why but, looked at the Sky advert with the teams lined up one behind the other. Couldn't see the Saints kit there!

Don't know if it means anything or not.

Guess it gets rid of two unfashionable teams off the quota early....

[saintmark1973]

Got 2 boys that play football on a Sunday, just glad that the Games that have been changed are 4 o'clock kick offs. it does mess it up a bit, getting to a stage of boys missing either their games or the saints games.

Saints and Burnley could both be in the top 6 at that time
