Tottenham Hotspur host Ipswich Town at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League, with the game kicking off at 2pm.
Fans in the UK, however, won't be able to watch the match live on TV, despite it falling outside of the traditional 3pm Saturday blackout time. So, while Tottenham could potentially break into the top four depending on results, fans won't be able to watch that happen. Ipswich fans, meanwhile, could miss their first Premier League win of the season.
But why is that, and why isn't Tottenham vs Ipswich on TV in the UK? FourFourTwo details everything you need to know below.
Why isn’t Tottenham vs Ipswich on TV in the UK?
Though Tottenham vs Ipswich falls outside of the traditional 3pm Saturday blackout time, the game cannot be broadcast live on TV simply because neither Sky Sports nor TNT Sports chose the game as one of their picks for the weekend's fixtures.
Sky Sports are allowed to show three Premier League games each matchday, with the broadcaster selecting Brighton vs Manchester City on Saturday, and Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle and Chelsea vs Arsenal. TNT Sports, meanwhile, chose Liverpool vs Aston Villa, which will kick off at 8pm on Saturday.
For similar reasons, Manchester United vs Leicester City also isn't being broadcast live in the UK, despite being played on Sunday at 2pm.
With more than 48 hours needed between the conclusion of their Thursday Europa League match and the kick-off of their Premier League weekend game, Tottenham invariably have to play on Sunday.
That doesn't always mean games can be shown live on TV in the UK, however, with legislation in place to limit the amount of matches broadcasters can show.
