Why isn't Chelsea vs Ipswich live on TV in UK today?

Chelsea will look to continue their impressive home form when they face Ipswich in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Blues have responded well to the defeat by Arsenal before the international break. They’ve recorded a 1-0 win over Tottenham, took a point off Brentford and have one foot in the Conference League semi-final after beating Legia Warsaw 3-0 on Thursday.

Though, Enzo Maresca's side are targeting Champions League qualification and can perhaps lean on their home form to get them over the line having won their five league games at Stamford Bridge in a row, keeping three consecutive clean sheets in the process.

Ipswich, meanwhile, are losing their battle of avoiding relegation as they start the weekend 12 points from safety with seven games remaining and with a vastly inferior goal difference to Wolves.

Despite the importance of this fixture, supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game on TV.

The game is being played at 2pm BST on Sunday, so does not fall within the blackout rules imposed across English football on a Saturday at 3pm.

But it has not been selected for live coverage by Sky Sports, who are instead showing Liverpool vs West Ham and then Newcastle’s clash against Manchester United.
