The latest National League TV selections for December and January has been revealed now that the 2022-23 season is in full swing.
BT Sport confirm the televised selection of five more matches added to the ones already picked over the next few months as the campaign takes shape.
The upcoming round of fixtures in the fifth tier of English football gives us a better idea of who are standing out vying for promotion and slipping down as risk of a relegation battle – even if we’re a long way off.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STATEMENT:
February is full to the brim of live matches as BT Sport confirm their latest batch of big game selections.
Four February showdowns have today been added to the already busy 2023 schedule – another game has also been slotted into the schedule for January.
Bromley’s trip to the Racecourse has been booked in again following the postponement of the game last month due FA Trophy duties – Andy Woodman’s side head to Wrexham on January 10 for a 7.30pm kick-off.
February starts in Altrincham as title chasers Wrexham head to greater Manchester on February 4 in a game which will no doubt have significance at the top of the table.
A week later it’s a first BT Sport visit to Dorking Wanderers this season with Southend United looking to add points to their push for promotion.
FC Halifax have gone from looking over their shoulders to looking towards the top seven – their game at fellow play-off hunters Boreham Wood is now live on February 18.
On the 25th, current leaders Notts County welcome Dagenham & Redbridge – all the four games kick-off at 5.20pm.
Before all that, BT Sport’s 2023 begins at Maidstone United on January 2 when Dagenham cross the Essex/Kent border
Then on January 21 comes the huge game between rivals Chesterfield and Notts County, and with both clubs embedded in the chase for the EFL this one has extra spice.
