“This is a historic pledge that gives supporters and teams up to five months’ notice—a significant extension above the five weeks’ notice offered for the bulk of the 2023–2024 season. Ten regular weekend games involving the three tiers will be televised, including seven games at 12.30pm on Saturdays, in keeping with the increase in matches, which are slated to take place on weekends when all divisions and the Premier League are expected to compete.
Up to five Sky Bet Championship games as well as up to five games in each of Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two will be shown. Sky Sports+, a new platform that allows fans to discover and stream live sports, or the current Sky Sports channel will both carry Sky Bet EFL events. Sky Sports+ is a free add-on for customers who purchase the entire Sky Sports package. It is seamlessly integrated into the current Sky TV experience and the redesigned Sky Sports mobile app. Every broadcast match will also be accessible RIGHT NOW on streaming services.
