Why Bournemouth vs Chelsea will be played at 8pm this weekend as Premier League fixture moves after international break

Chelsea's trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth this weekend will have an unusually late kick-off time.

Fortunately, the trip from London to Bournemouth It's not that bad, but it's still an inconvenient start time for fans.

Why does Bournemouth vs Chelsea start at 8pm?

It was originally scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 14 September.

However, it will be broadcast live and has been moved to ensure Sky can show it on the same day.

This means that the Bournemouth vs. Chelsea The match has been postponed until later in the evening so Sky Sports can show both games.
