British Columbia is moving away from the seasonal time change while much of North America falls back, adjusting the province to just two hours behind Eastern Time. The Province analyzes how this shift will affect local sports viewers, with major televised broadcasts scheduled to begin an hour later than audiences are accustomed to watching.

The writer notes that Sunday morning NFL broadcasts will start at 11 a.m. instead of 10 a.m., while weekday evening football shifts to 6 p.m. Additionally, Saturday English Premier League matches will move to later morning slots, and Saturday night NHL broadcasts will start at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Pacific.
