Sky Sports has recently secured exclusive rights to broadcast all EFL football matches starting from the next season, solidifying their longstanding partnership with the leagues. This five-year agreement, valued at £895,000, represents a remarkable 50% increase in revenue for clubs compared to the current arrangement.
This groundbreaking deal will bring about significant changes for clubs, including a substantial rise in the number of televised games and the gradual elimination of club streaming services. A staggering total of 1,059 EFL matches are scheduled to be aired across existing Sky Sports channels or accessible through a dedicated Sky Sports streaming service.
