The first Edinburgh Derby of the season has been given a new date and a live television slot, with the match now set for Thursday, 3rd September at 19:45 at Easter Road. It will be shown live on Premier Sports, adding an extra layer of attention to one of the biggest fixtures on the Hearts calendar.
The schedule change also affects Hearts’ home match against Dundee, which has been moved by 24 hours. That game will now take place on Sunday, 6th September at 3pm.
What the change means
This is a fixture update driven by broadcast planning, but the practical impact is clear enough for supporters: the derby is now locked into a Thursday evening slot, while the Dundee match has shifted into the Sunday afternoon window. For Hearts, that means a revised September schedule built around a televised Edinburgh Derby and a new kick-off time for the home meeting with Dundee.
