They are always the week after the premier league. Even more reason this year is to plan all televised games up to January.

Used to be the same day but they split about 7 or 8 years ago.

 

[Warwickhunt]

we should start betting on who our first game will be? I have gone for Portsmouth!

 

[Sick Boy]

After last season's opener, Stoke or Preston away.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I'd assume home first game. We've been away first game last 2 years

Is this ITK or a cognitive bias... like if it's heads twice, then it MUST be tails next

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

How do they decide the fixture list, anyway? Is it some clever little boffin in an office somewhere making it up as they go along, or is there some pre-defined pattern or process they follow?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Oxford at home please.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Oxford at home please.

... and for the rest of 45 weeks too.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Oxford at home please.

I’d rather not play any of the promoted teams early

 

[SleepyGinger]

I think we’ll be playing one of the relegated clubs first game on the Friday night. Sheff United at the CBS is my prediction.

 

[Skybluecol]

Released next week however changes can be made to it up until nearer to the start of the season? I'm sure I read this somewhere a while back? I hope I'm wrong

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I'll guess WBA at home

 

[Hutch11]

Would love Plymouth away, on the Saturday , 1st game of the season , so its still summery

No, they're set once released.

The only reason they'll change is for TV coverage.

All fixtures released up to January are set and wont be changed

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Once released ALL fixtures are set, apart from any that move for TV. There'll be less 'TV release dates' through the season, moving from about 8-9 to 2-3 to save fans losing money on tickets, travel, hotels etc when games move for TV.

Blackpool away first game

 

[napolimp]

So have the Sky fixtures already been decided prior to the fixtures being officially released on the 26th?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Blackpool away first game

You on Holiday then.

Apparently it's done by a Computer , hence the the Christmas and New year F**K ups.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Blackpool away first game

Good choice
Nice day by the sea. Or a weekend.
Take the whole end again. Turn them over. Happy days.

Typically not but it's been different with EPL this year. Normally fixtures are released then a couple of weeks later, Sky will announce the first batch of TV games which will then move accordingly.

However this year, Sky announced their first lot of TV picks as soon as the fixtures were released. Same could happen with EFL.

Apparently a chap on Facebook went to check parking for the Stevenage fixture pre season and this came up.

Well technically it'd true. They are all TBA. Imagine if they are the first 2 away games tho. Points system warriors galore!

That's what I was wondering, is that our first 5 away games. Personally I have no idea, could be complete Facebook bollox!
