OXFORD City’s home clash with Altrincham has been moved due to the game being picked for live TV coverage.

The Hoops were due to welcome Greater Manchester side Altrincham for a 3pm kick-off on September 30, however the fixture will now take place at 5.30pm and be live on TNT Sports.

The Altrincham fixture is one of six Vanarama National League games to be chosen for TNT Sports coverage in September.

TNT Sports has replaced BT Sport after launching earlier this month.

The rebrand came about after BT Sport was bought by Warner Bros Discovery, a company which also owns Eurosport.

City are set to play at the highest level in their history this season, with Ross Jenkins’ side beginning the 2023/24 campaign away at Aldershot Town on August 5.
