Why is Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United NOT on TV?
NOTTINGHAM Forest take on Sheffield United in the Premier League on Friday night.
The game, however, will NOT be shown on TV, much to fans’ disappointment.
Forest kicked off their domestic campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal while Sheffield United lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace last weekend.
The last time Forest faced the Blades was in the 2022 Championship play-off semi-final, which Steve Cooper’s men won on penalties.
The Blades will be out for revenge, but if you want to watch the game, you’re going to have to get your hands on a ticket.

Why is Forest vs Sheff Utd not on TV?
Forest vs Sheff Utd won’t be shown on TV because the game was originally supposed to take place on a different date.
The game was scheduled for Saturday, August 19, but had to moved to the night before.
That’s because in the cricket, the Trent Rockets are up against Birmingham Phoenix in the The Hundred on Saturday night.
Due to security fears and potential heavy congestion in the city, the decision was taken to move the Premier League game.
And although Sky Sports usually show Friday night games, the fixture wasn’t scheduled in with the broadcaster, therefore the game won’t be on TV.
Sky will show two games, Tottenham vs Man Utd and Man City vs Newcastle, on Saturday evening instead.
You can keep up to date with Forest vs Sheff Utd, however, on SunSport with our live blog.
