I think you’re over complicating it

It’s not a definition, it’s just an agreement up front between sky and the EFL as to how many midweek (Inc bank holiday) rounds of fixtures there are and how many weekend rounds there are.

The former are all on skysports plus, the latter aren’t unless moved to 12:30

        Not sure if the main sky sports + channel or red button (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 1, 12:15:03
        
        Is it? If it’s on the channel, that’s different to the streaming, I thought (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 1, 12:17:49
        
        It’s still being broadcast live by sky (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 1, 12:24:12
        
        Not exactly, it’s about the games streamed on the skysports app (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 1, 12:54:05
        
        It will defo have been on the app (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 1, 13:11:09

    - Do Sky even have the rights to the Cup? (n/m) (NCFC) - watfordcanary, Jan 1, 11:17:17
