We don't pay for Sky, but do have a box with a 'Freesat From Sky' card in it.
I have read that Sky will be showing some of the upcoming 'behind closed doors' football games on their free channel.
Does anyone have any idea what number this will be on?

Thanks

    I don't think anyone will know yet.
    They are probably trying to decide what channel to use or what number.

    On mine Pick is channel 159.
  • Hi,
    Sky will put it on the free-to-air ‘Pick’ Channel and simulcast on Sky Sports. Pick is 159 on Sky and 144 on Freeview.
    Have a look at Telegraph and TalkSport for details.

    Thanks all
    Would anyone hazard a guess at whether the '2nd tier' games will be available?

    That's a "wait and see" situation ... nothing has been announced as yet. Is it even confirmed that the Championship will restart? (I know the EFL have made an announcement, but some clubs have said there has been no consultation).
