Middlesbrough FC's home matches against Watford and Chelsea have been moved after being selected for Sky Sports coverage.

Boro will now face the Hornets at 12.30pm on Saturday, October 15 - slightly earlier than first scheduled.

Then Boro's home clash with Antonio Conte's Chelsea has been pushed back to Sunday, November 20 (4pm), with the game to be shown live on Super Sunday.

Aitor Karanka's newly-promoted side feature heavily on TV in the early weeks of the new Premier League season, with three more matches already scheduled for live broadcast.

Boro's eagerly-anticipated Wear-Tees derby with Sunderland will be shown live on Sky Sports next Sunday (1.30pm) at the Stadium of Light, and it's the same slot for the away trip to West Brom seven days later.

Then Boro's trip to Everton on Saturday, September 17 will be shown on BT Sport , with a 5.30pm kick-off at Goodison Park.

Two other Boro games have also been rearranged due to the European commitments of their opponents.

The trip to Southampton has been nudged back a day and will now take place on Sunday, December 11, with the Saints set to play a Europa League game on the prior Thursday. Kick-off time is yet to be confirmed.

And due to that alteration, Boro's game at home to Liverpool also moves back a day and will now go ahead on Wednesday, December 14 (7.45pm kick-off.

Boro fans could also see their eagerly-anticipated trip to West Ham United on October 1 moved back to the Sunday - should the Hammers progress into the group stages of the Europa League.

An announcement on that should be made after Slaven Bilic's side complete their qualifiers, scheduled to take place later this month.
