Newcastle moved to the 2pm Sunday slot. (Live on Sky)
So, apart from our own doing in the cup run, are the remaining league game times and dates now locked in?

No - Wolves and Liverpool can still be moved.
They go week by week now in order to give themselves the best chance of screening games that mean something.

Don't think so as week 36 (Wolves away) shows all 15:00 KO Saturday at present

Thanks for confirming
Didn’t realise it dropped down to weekly at the end of the season but makes sense based on where the jeopardy is
There's also the FA Cup Semi Finals to take into account. IF, if we were to get through West Ham at home would be moved, couldn't tell you who else is supposed to playing who that weekend, but television fixtures wont be finalised until after the weekend to factor this in.
Been really trying to sort a Saturday 3pm to get to. Leicester doesn't look like working as travelling back from Easter holiday with the family, 29th against West Ham was looking ideal but just realised if we beat Forest in the Cup, that's FA Cup Semi final weekend isn't it?
Ugh.
Ugh.
Any Liverpool match “means more” of course.

Liverpool is the weekend of the FA cup final. I wonder if they have dates already in place for league games affected by the teams that reach the final. Will it be moved to the midweek after or before? All fixtures must be finished before the following weekend which is the last game of the season.

You would think it would be pretty easy to plan most of them.
Villa are the only ones left, with other competitions to worry about.
The Liverpool game is already scheduled (according to the BBC site at least) for 3pm on the Sunday, so can presumably be televised if they choose, without any need to move it.

It’s FA Cup final weekend so if we make it that far Liverpool game will move to midweek

All PL games are currently listed as 3pm on the Sunday due to the Cup Final on the Saturday, I'm pretty certain the TV companies won't want to show all their games at the same time that day.
These are the dates supposedly for the announcements. Match Week 35 was late so we won't probably hear about Wolves until next week. That said, if we get to the final, we'll have both West Ham and Liverpool to rearrange! MW 38 is cast in stone though as everyone has to play at the same time.
| MW35 | 17 March - 21 March |
|---|---|
| MW36 | 24 March - 28 March |
| MW37 | 31 March - 4 April |
| MW38 | Post MW37 |

There's plenty of chance that both of those games will mean something, but the broadcasters might just miss it.
I don't want to bang on about this but just how many times have we been broadcast in the 4/4.30 'Super Sunday' slot?

Not sure, other than arguably one of our best ever PL results/performances. Arsenal away 22/23.
FA Cup final is AFTER the season ends . . . Shirley
