Barnet FC's schedule of live televised matches for the 2026/27 EFL season has been confirmed by Sky Sports. The broadcaster announced its selections up to early January 2027, ensuring the Bees will be featured on screen multiple times as they push for promotion from League Two.
Sky Sports announced on Saturday 5 September that more than 1,000 EFL, Carabao Cup, and EFL Trophy matches will be shown live throughout the campaign. Every one of the 72 EFL clubs, including Barnet, is guaranteed to appear live on Sky more than 20 times. These games will be available on Sky Sports main channels, the dedicated Sky Sports+ service, and the Sky Sports app, with non-subscribers able to watch via flexible contracts on NOW.
The first confirmed live broadcast for Barnet is a trip to Crawley Town on Saturday 26 September 2026, with a 12.30pm kick-off. A festive fixture follows on Tuesday 29 December, when the Bees host Gillingham at The Hive London with a 7.45pm start. The new year brings a busy day of televised football on Saturday 9 January 2027, where Barnet is one of four League Two clubs selected for the 12.30pm slot. On that date, Barnet will face Grimsby Town, Chesterfield, Shrewsbury Town, and Walsall, though the specific opponent for the Bees' broadcast will be confirmed closer to the time.
This extensive coverage arrives as Barnet enjoys a strong start to the League Two campaign. The club currently sits third in the table with 9 points from their opening five matches, recording two wins and three draws. Their recent form reads DDDWW, and they have been potent in attack, scoring 12 goals while conceding 8 for a +4 goal difference. The title race is tight, with Barnet just three points behind leaders Bristol Rovers. Fans can track the evolving standings as the season progresses.
Sky Sports has committed to unprecedented coverage of the EFL this season. The broadcaster's deal means supporters will not miss a key moment from Barnet's promotion push. Every match shown on television will also be streamable app, offering flexibility for fans on the move. For those without a full Sky subscription, the NOW service provides a month-by-month option to access the sports channels. This ensures all Barnet supporters can follow their team's quest for a return to League One.
