The Prague club already announced several weeks in advance that the duel with Dynamo played on Sunday, February 5, will start at 2:45 p.m. This is so that on the same day, Sparta fans can also attend the match of their football club against Mladá Boleslav at Letná (from 18:00).
Originally, the battle between Sparta and Pardubice was supposed to be broadcast by ČT on its sports channel, but in the end that will not happen because of the cyclocross world championship.
The WC in cyclocross changed the time of the main race of the elite category, exactly against the original choice of TV-match of the Sparta-Pardubice extra league. ČT2 cannot be used (Davis Cup Portugal-Czechia).
On Sunday, we change TVU to Litvínov-K.Vary. Buly hockey will start live at 16:20.
Unfortunately, no other solution is possible

“The WC in cyclocross has changed the time of the main race of the elite category, exactly against the original choice of the TV match of the extra league Sparta – Pardubice,” explains the situation on Twitter, chief commentator of the ČT sports editorial Robert Záruba, that the cyclocross race will not start until 15:00.
Moving the hockey program to ČT2 was also out of the question, as it broadcasts the tennis Davis Cup qualification between Portugal and the Czech Republic at the weekend.
Czech TV will still serve the hockey extra league to its fans on Sunday. Litvínov’s match with Karlovy Vary is broadcast live on the ČT sport channel (4:30 p.m.). “Unfortunately, no other solution is possible,” Záruba admitted.
