2022 according to this contemporaneous report on the PGA Tour website, but that could mean anything from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. Mind you the implication in the Sky article is that they have the rights for the entire calendar year of 2022 and there’s no sign of a U.K. & Ireland launch of Golf TV.

Liverpool has requested their first leg of the League Cup match against Arsenal be postponed from Thursday due to a major covid outbreak. Not sure it will be granted.
Interesting to see how low budget this seniors snooker is - the actual scoring on screen appears to be directly connected to the online score tracker (snookerscores.net)
This is the way to find the score, but it looks like they've cropped the stats off the bottom to make it look like the normal rounded rectangle.
Love the use of 'go away magenta' for the compositing, too.

Not previously reported on here, but the 2022 Lakeside WDF World Darts, due to have been shown on Eurosport and Discovery+ this week, has been postponed until the first week in April, bue to the current covid situation.
Also, can't remember, but was one of the Sky Sports channels rebranded for the PDC version of the worlds, as Sky Sports Darts during the tournament?

Sky Sports Arena - I'm pretty sure this happens at least every World Championship (or even as frequently as every major PDC tournament, although someone may have to correct me on that)
Yes, which with Action rebranded Sky Sports NFL leaves them only Sky Sports Mix and when available Main Event for other general sport during the period.
Liverpool - Arsenal, league cup tie off due C19.

Will now be played on January 13th and January 20th.
Liverpool v Shrewsbury on Sunday a possible postponement as well I imagine through some of the players isolating at the moment will be back before Sunday.
Two rights pick ups of note.
BT Sport has picked up the Supercopa de Espana, which I don’t think has been on U.K. TV in a while (Sky used to have it, back in the days when they showed La Liga). Once a two-legged curtain raiser to the season they’ve now turned it into a four team affair with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atheltico Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao involved. Also it’s mid season and in Saudi Arabia to boot.
Meanwhile Premier Sports have picked up the rights to the ROI-only package for the FA Cup consisting of 3pms and a few additional fixtures that aren’t on U.K. TV (the Third Round features Leicester v Watford, the aforementioned Liverpool v Shrewsbury and Spurs v Morecambe). Nobody has picked up the ITV side of the deal though.
Yeovil v Bournemouth seems to be a late addition to the FA Cup broadcasts on Saturday evening, airing on the iPlayer on Saturday whilst BBC1 airs Hull v Everton and BBC1 Wales airs Swansea v Southampton.
EDIT: Also showing Chelsea v Chesterfield in that slot too.

Noticed the BBC advert only shows the 2 matches live on BBC One on the endboard but stated 4 live games across the BBC.
The FA page confirms what Brekkie is saying

Notice Sky Sports EFL Cup coverage tonight is presented by Laura Woods, has she presented any of the EFL Cup coverage this season? I know she was the main presenter last season but last few Cup matches on Sky were presented by David Prutton.
She is also down to present ITV coverage of West Ham v Leeds this Sunday, wonder if she might be a part of their World Cup team this year?
Well she hosts the darts for Sky now so presumably that is her main focus. Still quite rare though to see a Sky Sports presenter hosting on FTA - even with presenters increasingly working for multiple broadcasters over the last decade Sky presenters have generally remained pretty exclusive in terms of working for UK broadcasters at least. Seema Jaswal has been ITV's number 2 since last year and did the first couple of rounds of the FA Cup, so she must be double booked this weekend.
I guess this also might be the first weekend in quite a long while (possibly since Sky first had cup rights themselves) during the season where FTA broadcasters have more English club matches on their channels than there are on subscription channels.
P.S. Any news on if they're shifting the dates for the first couple of rounds next season. Presumably neither the BBC or ITV will want to be having to cover a second round FA Cup fixture during the World Cup.

As for Seema Jaswal, she's been hosting the FA Cup draws for ITV from Wembley this season and the draw for the 4th round will take place after the Nottingham Forest v Arsenal tie (ITV's second live game on Sunday).
