United are not included in Sky's live coverage of 24 Coca-Cola Football League matches over the first four months of the season.

The games will feature 36 different clubs but Leeds are not among them. During the first month, matches will be featured from all three divisions.

Sheffield United have been earmarked for three early appearances on Sky Sports - against West Bromwich Albion, Bristol City, and Stoke City - unless they manage to overturn their relegation.

Home clubs in the Championship receive £60k for every live appearance on television and visiting clubs pocket £10k.

In League One and Two, the away clubs receive £10k but the home clubs get £30k.

The League One derby between Doncaster and Huddersfield will be shown at 4pm on Sunday, October 14 and the Yorkshire derby between Hull City and Barnsley will be shown at 7.45pm on Monday, October 22.

Hull are also in televised action at Blackpool on Monday September 3. Sheffield Wednesday's trip to Norwich on Saturday, September 29 will be shown live at 5.20pm as will the Carling Cup tie between Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday at Millmoor on Thursday, August 16.
