Preparations are well underway for 2024/25 at Coventry City as Mark Robins tries to haul the club into another push for the top six.
Robins is busy tweaking his squad after reaching the FA Cup semi-final last term and finishing ninth in the Championship, having reached the play-off final a season previously.
But the season is guaranteed to be very different in a lot of respects. There will be at least 24 Coventry league matches shown live on television thanks to a new deal with Sky Sports. Only games on the opening weekend will be allowed to broadcast on Saturday afternoons so that means at least 23 Coventry matches not on a Saturday afternoon. There will be games on Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes as well as selections on Thursday and Monday evenings.
The campaign will run from the weekend of August 10 until May 3. There will be 46 rounds of league matches, held over 33 weekends, nine mid-weeks and four Bank Holidays in the Championship. Leagues One and Two will play on 36 weekends and six mid-weeks. The League Cup and Football League Trophy will continue with the same formats from last season. The Carabao Cup will launch in mid-August. The play-off finals, meanwhile, will take place over the 2025 May Bank Holiday weekend.
The new fixture list will be announced on Wednesday, June 26 at 9am. It will be published live on CoventryLive.
Television selections for all matches to be played before the end of September will be confirmed by July 1, within seven days of the fixtures being announced.
Selection of all other matches scheduled to be played before the FA Cup third round, in January 2024, will be confirmed before the start of the season.
