In line with current government guidance around spectators at sports events, this year’s Fish’O’Mania will be staged behind closed doors, with live coverage on Sky Sports, DAZN and Matchroom.Live on Saturday 29th August 2020. |
Fish’O’Mania will still go ahead at Hayfield Lakes on Saturday, August 29 with 24 anglers competing for the £50,000 first prize. Fish’O’Mania NXTGEN will also go ahead as planned, with eight young anglers competing for a £2,500 winner’s cheque.
Matchroom Multi Sport and Sky Sports are working together to add new innovations to the live broadcast of Fish’O’Mania, ensuring fans who would usually attend can still enjoy Fish’O’Mania in full, live on Sky Sports.
Improvements will include new aerial footage of the match and improved online live scoring so fans can follow the action as weights are recorded every 30 minutes. For the first time, Fish’O’Mania NXTGEN will also have live scoring, with weigh-ins every 60 minutes during the four-hour match.
Fish’O’Mania will begin at 11:30am on Saturday 29th August 2020, live on Sky Sports and international broadcast partners including DAZN and Matchroom.Live.
In the build up to this year’s Fish’O’Mania, highlights from all 26 previous Fish’O’Mania finals will be available free to watch at Matchroom.Live and on the Matchroom Multi Sport YouTube channel.
