Gillingham FC's television schedule for the 2026/27 EFL season has been confirmed, with three League Two fixtures selected for live Sky Sports broadcast before the end of the year. The club, currently 21st in League Two with one point from two games, will be featured prominently as part of Sky's commitment to show every EFL club more than 20 times live. Sky Sports published the initial fixture selections on Tuesday 25 August 2026.
Which Gillingham games are on TV?
The first Gillingham match to be televised is a Tuesday night clash against Port Vale at Priestfield Stadium on 20 October 2026, kicking off at 8pm. A month later, the Gills host Crewe Alexandra in a Saturday lunchtime fixture on 21 November, with a 12:30pm start. The final confirmed broadcast of the calendar year sees Barnet visit on Tuesday 29 December for a 7:45pm kick-off. All these matches will be shown live across Sky Sports' main channels or on its Sky Sports+ streaming service. Fans can also watch via the Sky Sports app, and non-Sky customers can access the games through flexible contracts on NOW.
How does the full EFL broadcast schedule work?
Sky Sports plans to broadcast over 1,000 live games across the EFL, Carabao Cup, and EFL Trophy this season. The opening weekend of the campaign, starting Friday 14 August with Wolves vs Blackburn and concluding Monday 17 August with Wrexham's trip to Cardiff, will see every single Championship, League One, and League Two game broadcast live. Selections for live games are announced on a rolling basis. By 6 November 2026, all matches up to the midweek of 2-3 March 2027 will have their TV status confirmed. Subsequent weekly announcements will look four weeks ahead, with the final weekend of the regular season confirmed just one week prior.
What is Gillingham's current form heading into the season?
The TV schedule arrives as Gillingham look to improve on a difficult start to the League Two campaign. According to our latest standings, the Gills sit 21st, having taken just one point from their opening two matches with a draw and a loss. Their recent form reads DL, and they have yet to score a goal this season while conceding three, giving them a -3 goal difference. This leaves them five points behind early leaders Barnet, who they are scheduled to face on TV in late December.

Where can fans watch Gillingham on TV?
Sky Sports+ is the primary platform for the additional EFL coverage and is available across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW. Existing Sky Sports customers with a full subscription will not need to pay any extra to access these matches. The confirmation of these broadcast dates allows supporters to plan their viewing well in advance. With more selections to be announced up to 9 January 2027, Gillingham fans can expect to see their team on television frequently throughout the season as the club aims to climb the table from its current position.
