Albion could be playing on a Saturday night if they survive two seasons in the Premier League.
Eight matches will be played in a new 7.45pm slot on Saturday evenings under the terms of a new broadcast package from the 2019-20 season.
Broadcasters will bid for rights to show 200 live matches, more than half of the league's 380 games and an increase on the current £5 billion plus deal's 168.
Broadcasters, as well as the eight Saturday night games, can bid for 24 matches in a Sunday 2pm slot as part of the package.
Other kick-off times remain the same or similar to now, 12.30pm and 5.30pm on Saturdays, 4.30pm on Sundays, 8pm on Mondays, 7.30-8pm on Fridays.
Under the existing deal, seven of Albion's opening 12 Premier League matches attracted live coverage on Sky or BT Sport.
The home games against Bournemouth on January 1 and Chelsea on January 20 are both on Sky (12.30).
