Sky Sports to show 0 Football League matches in 0 days

The Football League will kick off its busy festive period next month with a television first; ten matches in ten days all live on Sky Sports.

Christmas and New Year is a crucial time of the season for teams in The Football League. 180 matches are played across the three divisions over the festive season and a good run of form in December and January can provide the foundations for the rest of the season.

10 in 10 begins with Wolves v Nottingham Forest who will be looking for wins at Molineux and then at Ewood Park on Monday 14 December to propel them up the table. Brighton who play Middlesbrough on 19 December will be hoping they can hold on to their status as the only unbeaten team in the top four divisions through December and into the new year. 10 in 10 will also give Sky Sports viewers the opportunity to see how QPR and Blackburn Rovers continue to fare under new managers Neil Warnock and Paul Lambert.

The matches to be shown live during Football League 10 in 10 are:

Friday 11 Wolves v Nottingham Forest 7.45pm Sky Sports 1 & 5

Speaking about Football League 10 in 10, Shaun Harvey, Chief Executive of The Football League said: The festive period has always been a special time for football fans, and with 10 matches in 10 days live on Sky Sports to start it all off, this season promises to be better than ever. The live games will showcase the drama of and excitement of the Sky Bet Football League, and we'd encourage everyone to come and join the fun as big crowds gather at grounds across the country over Christmas and the New Year.

Sky Sports expert Ian Holloway who will be a studio guest for all 10 matches said: Christmas has come early! It's been a brilliant start to the season and what better way to celebrate the festive season than by showing ten matches in ten days from the most exciting League in football. I'm delighted that fans will get the chance to enjoy nearly two weeks of non-stop Football League exclusively live on Sky Sports.
