EVERY opening day match will be shown.

EVERY final day game will be shown.

EVERY League One & League Two game will be shown during international breaks.

SATURDAYS 3PM

The EFL says there will be seven 3pm Championship games each regular Saturday and 19 League One/Two games combined at 3pm on Saturdays.

STREAMING

Those matches not on the main Sky channels, but also selected will be available via Sky Sports+ like last season

MATCH COVERAGE

Games shown live on the main Sky channels will have a minimum of eight cameras.

Games on Sky Sports+ rather than on the main Sky channels will have a minimum of six cameras for Championship, four cameras for League One games and two cameras for League Two matches. The games shown on Sky Sports+ are not produced by Sky but by the EFL’s production partner IMG.

ITV

10 LIVE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES (These will already have been selected by Sky. Last season ITV used Sky’s match pictures, but had their own commentators/reporters/pundits and did their own pre and after-match coverage. (ITV have the option to show a League One or League Two game instead of a Championship match if they wish).

10 CARABAO CUP GAMES A SEASON INCLUDING THE FINAL, ONE SEMI-FINAL AND TWO QUARTER-FINAL (ALL CARABAO CUP GAMES WILL BE ON SKY).

HIGHLIGHTS: Dedicated free-to-air highlights shows for both the EFL and Carabao Cup will continue to be shown on ITV. Mini highlights packages of all games will also be available soon after the final whistle on Sky Sports YouTube channel.
