Stockport County fans in Stockport, Greater Manchester, who are travelling to see their team play Luton Town on March 21, 2026, will need to set off earlier than planned. The League One game will now start at 12:30 PM instead of the usual afternoon slot to allow the match to be shown live on television.

According to Luton Town, the change was confirmed on February 19, 2026, as part of a group of matches chosen for broadcast. This game is being shown on Sky Sports+ as part of a deal where the EFL ensures every club is featured on television at least 20 times during the season.

The match takes place at Kenilworth Road, and supporters should prepare for an earlier start to their journey. This will be the second meeting between the two clubs this season after Stockport County lost 3-0 in their home game back on November 08, 2025.

Luton Town are currently led by manager Jack Wilshere, who took over the role in October 2025. This game is part of a large broadcasting agreement with Sky Sports that covers over 1,000 matches across the football leagues this year.

Fans and anyone planning to travel that day should revise their plans to arrive for the earlier start. Local traffic is expected to be busier around the stadium area in Luton on the Saturday morning.
