Wolves and Chelsea face off in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash at Molineux, but fans in the UK will be left disappointed as the match will not be broadcast live.
Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, showed glimpses of potential during their recent encounter with Manchester City. Despite their best efforts, the Blues fell short against the champions, adding extra pressure on their trip to Wolves. With a squad in flux, Maresca faces the familiar challenge of finding consistency quickly—a luxury not often afforded to Chelsea managers, even with the change in ownership.
Wolves, on the other hand, began their campaign with a 2-0 loss to Arsenal. However, the scoreline did not fully reflect their performance. They pushed the Gunners hard, suggesting that Gary O’Neil’s side may have more to offer than their opening result indicates.
Despite the anticipation, the fixture won’t be available on UK TV. Initially scheduled for 3 pm BST on Saturday, 24 August 2024, the match falls under the blackout rules imposed on English football, preventing live broadcasts during this time slot.
Chelsea’s involvement in the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday night forced the rescheduling of the game to Sunday. However, due to broadcasting restrictions, it remains unavailable for live viewing.
While fans might be frustrated, they’ll have to follow the match updates and highlights to catch the action.
