Sky Sports selects further nine Football League fixtures for August, September

Sky Sports selects further nine FL fixtures

Sky Sports has selected nine more Football League matches to broadcast live during the first two months of the 2015-16 season.

Last week, 16 games were picked out by the broadcaster and now it has been confirmed that 25 fixtures in total will be aired live across August and September.

Eight Championship matches, two of which feature newly-demoted side Queens Park Rangers, have been added to the schedule, while the League One clash between Bradford City and Sheffield United will also be shown live.

The new Championship season will get underway on Friday, August 7 with a meeting between Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest.

After the TV fixtures were confirmed, Charlton Athletic sent a tongue-in-cheek tweet to Sky Sports suggesting that they are unhappy at being overlooked for the live games.

The tweet read: "Hey @SkySports! Just to remind you we're still here! #cafc"

The Addicks will open their campaign against QPR on August 8.
