Town reportedly brought in £750,000 from games streamed online last season.
The EFL has been streaming matches since 2017 with the income becoming increasingly important, especially so during the Covid-hit 2020/21 campaign.
The issue has also become controversial with individual clubs banking the profits on all the match passes they sell, including those for games played away.
Town sold 6,075 passes, which cost £10 each, for the game at Gillingham in January, a League One record, with the Gills handed nothing from that sum.
"In a lengthy article on the situation, The Athletic reveals that Town are understood to have made £750,000 from streaming last season and another of League One’s bigger sides Bolton £500,000, while smaller clubs received much less. Accrington chairman Andy Holt says that under the current arrangements his club receive only "£20,000 or £30,000” a year.
Midweek EFL fixtures are streamed live in the UK but currently Saturday 3pm games - other than in the exceptional 2020/21 season - remain unavailable due to UEFA rules, although it is probable that this will eventually change.
However, all League One and Two games played during the World Cup in November and December will be shown live this season along with Bank Holiday fixtures.
Town are set to switch from the EFL’s iFollow streaming service to their own TownTV when the current contract comes to an end next summer.
