Three Stoke City matches moved for TV and another rescheduled to suit rivals

Stoke City has had four upcoming Championship fixtures rescheduled, with three matches selected for live television broadcast and another moved to accommodate an opponent. Home and away fixtures against Derby County, Preston North End, and Sheffield United have all shifted kickoff dates and times to feature across Sky Sports platforms in January and February.

Additionally, Stoke's away match at Middlesbrough has been shifted to Tuesday, February 16, because Middlesbrough's subsequent clash with Birmingham City was moved for television coverage. Sky Sports plans to confirm its early March broadcast selections by February 5, transitioning to weekly four-week rolling announcements thereafter.
