Premier League Schedules Sunday 3pm TV Slots Due to 60-Hour Rest Rule

Premier League
January 2026

Multiple Premier League matches are scheduled at unusual times, including several Sunday 3pm kick-offs shown live on TV. The changes are tied to fixture congestion and broadcast selections around the New Year period. The league aims to provide at least 60 hours between matches, forcing several teams who played midweek to be moved from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday also has no UK blackout, allowing multiple 3pm matches to be televised.

Scholes thanked supporters on Instagram after discussing stepping away from live TNT punditry to stabilise routines for his non-verbal autistic son, Aiden. He now appears regularly on Stick to Football with Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Jill Scott, and Ian Wright. Scholes described years of managing severe autism challenges, opting for predictable recording windows over late live broadcasts. The shift reduces travel and sensory disruption at home while keeping him active in analysis. Listener response highlighted shared experiences among families with special-needs dependents.

Paul Scholes ended regular TNT Sports punditry to care for his non-verbal autistic son, Aiden. Thursday fixtures disrupted Aiden’s routine, so Scholes dropped Europa League duties and shifted to The Overlap’s Stick to Football, replacing Jamie Carragher. The change lets him be home more while remaining active in football media. Scholes rebalanced commitments by declining midweek TV slots, favouring podcast recordings with flexible scheduling and home-based prep. He coordinates support around Aiden’s needs, reducing travel and unpredictable late finishes. The approach preserves involvement, limits sensory disruptions for his son, and sets a model other caregivers in sport broadcasting could emulate.
