Oxford United have confirmed three more matches will be broadcast live on TV this season, adding to their growing exposure in the Championship. The U's will now face Notts County, Mansfield Town, and AFC Wimbledon in front of nationwide audiences, with kick-off times adjusted for television coverage.
What matches are being shown live?
The first of the newly selected fixtures is the away game against Notts County on Saturday, October 10, kicking off at 12:30pm. Oxford’s match with Mansfield Town has been moved to Thursday, October 15, at 8:00pm, while the home game against AFC Wimbledon will now start at 12:30pm on Saturday, January 9. These changes follow the earlier selection of the home game against MK Dons, which was already set for a 12:30pm kick-off on Sky Sports.
Why does this matter for Oxford United?
Increased TV coverage provides Oxford United with greater visibility, helping to attract new fans and sponsors. The club finished 22nd in the Championship last season with 47 points (11W-14D-21L), narrowly avoiding relegation, and will look to improve this campaign. The additional exposure could also boost attendance and engagement as the team aims to climb the table.
What do fans need to know?
Fans should note the revised kick-off times, particularly the Thursday evening fixture against Mansfield Town. More TV selections may be announced by Friday, November 6, so supporters are advised to stay updated on potential further changes. The club’s recent form (2W-0D-3L in their last five matches) suggests they will be eager to make an impression in these high-profile fixtures.
