Leeds United's trip to Swansea City on Sunday lunchtime will no longer be broadcast by Sky Sports.

The Whites' Championship clash at the Liberty Stadium this weekend (July 12) was due to be shown by the EFL's official television partner but after a late decision the fixture now won't be shown.

Sky confirmed the news on Wednesday morning and revealed that Stoke City's game against Birmingham City will be broadcast instead.

LUTV commentator Bryn Law tweeted: "The reason for the switch is the number of picks Sky get for each club. Sky were running out of Leeds selections so they’ve decided to keep their options open."

Supporters will still be able to watch the clash with the Swans live exclusively on the club's official channel LUTV with the kick-off time (13:30) remaining the same.
