Following the Sky changes today, I’ve seen a lot of comments about what it’d be like if we were in the Premier League, but it’s getting worse from next season in the EFL too.
From 24/25, 5 Championship games will be shown per weekend (another 5 from L1/2).
The blackout rule will remain for now. So just 7 x 3pm kick offs in the Championship each weekend.
For comparison, there’s 10 this weekend (+ 1 Friday night & 1 Saturday lunch time).
At least we’ll get a lot more notice of changes though.
Taken from The Athletic:
A typical weekend of coverage will begin with a live Championship game on Friday night. There will then be six matches shown, two from each division, on a Saturday lunchtime.
These six games will be streamed via a new platform Sky is developing.
In addition to that, the rest of the weekend might be a League One or League Two main channel match on a Sunday or Monday and a Championship tie in the alternate slot.
As part of the deal, the EFL said that Sky Sports will release their TV picks for up to the FA Cup third round ahead of a ball being kicked in the 2023-24 season.
