Middlesbrough's games against Leeds and Nottingham Forest will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Boro’s meeting with Leeds is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, February 26 (7:45pm kick-off) but will now be broadcast as part of Sky’s co-exclusive coverage.

Jonathan Woodgate’s side were then set to face Forest at the Riverside the following weekend, yet the game has been pushed back for TV purposes.

The original fixture was scheduled for Saturday, February 29 yet the game has been pushed back and will now be played on Monday, March 2 (7:45pm kick-off).

Boro claimed a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture against Forest at the City Ground when a Paddy McNair penalty cancelled out Ryan Yates’ opener in December.

The Teessiders’ next Championship game is an away trip to Charlton on Saturday, March 9 five days later.
