Grimsby Town's live television schedule for the 2026/27 League Two campaign has been confirmed by Sky Sports. The broadcaster announced its selections for matches up to January 9, 2027, on Tuesday, with the Mariners featuring in four confirmed live games.
According to a report published on Tuesday 25 August 2026, Sky Sports will show more than 1,000 games across the EFL, Carabao Cup, and EFL Trophy this season. Every club, including Grimsby Town, is guaranteed to be featured live on Sky Sports more than 20 times. The opening weekend of the season, running from Friday August 14 to Monday August 17, will see every Championship, League One, and League Two curtain-raiser broadcast live.
Which Grimsby Town games are on TV?
The first live broadcast involving Grimsby Town is scheduled for Saturday 12 September 2026. They host Bristol Rovers at Blundell Park with a 12:30pm kick-off. A month later, on Saturday 31 October, another home fixture against York City will be shown live at the same time.
Two away matches complete the initial batch of TV selections. Grimsby travel to Chesterfield on Saturday 12 December and then to Barnet on Saturday 9 January 2027. Both of those fixtures are also scheduled for 12:30pm starts. Fans can track all upcoming matches on the club's fixtures page.
How does the TV selection process work?
Sky Sports has outlined its selection timeline for the remainder of the season. By Friday 6 November 2026, all live picks up to the midweek of March 2-3, 2027, will be announced. Selections for the weekend of March 5-8 will be confirmed by Friday 5 February 2027.
After that point, the broadcaster will switch to a rolling weekly announcement schedule, confirming picks four weeks in advance. The penultimate weekend of the regular season will have its selections announced three weeks ahead, with the final weekend's TV games confirmed the week prior. This system provides clubs and supporters with greater certainty for planning.
Where can fans watch the games?
All selected EFL matches will be broadcast live on Sky Sports main channels or via the Sky Sports+ streaming service. Every match shown on Sky Sports is also available to watch on the Sky Sports app. For viewers without a Sky subscription, flexible contract options are available through the NOW streaming platform, allowing access to the live coverage.
This extensive coverage is part of Sky's commitment to the EFL, ensuring supporters have multiple ways to follow their team. The current squad's form and availability can be monitored on our dedicated squad page.
What is Grimsby's current form?
The TV schedule announcement comes as Grimsby Town sit 8th in the early League Two table. After two games of the 2026/27 season, they have taken four points from one win and one draw, with a recent form of DW. Their defensive record is strong, having conceded zero goals while scoring one, giving them a +1 goal difference.
This solid start puts them just two points behind the early leaders, Barnet, a team they are scheduled to face in a televised clash in January.
