Following a delay in announcing their broadcasting choices for January, the Premier League has apologized to Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United, and other teams.
Prior to the break for the World Cup in Qatar, the league was supposed to announce the impacted fixtures for December and January in October.
Broadcast picks for November, meanwhile, were confirmed in September.
The Premier League has cited issues with “obtaining relevant local stakeholder approvals” as the reason behind the delay in announcing some fixtures, with the picks now released, and have apologised to supporters.
They have also stated their commitment to “ensure more effective communication” in the future.
In a statement released, they said: “The Premier League fixtures that have been selected for live television broadcast in the United Kingdom in January 2023 have been released.
