Sky Sports have signed a new five-year contract worth £935million with the EFL to broadcast more than 1,000 fixtures per season from the 2024/25 campaign onwards.
Having been named as the preferred bidder last month following an extensive tendering process, Sky Sports and the EFL made the announcement on Friday evening which will provide more money to clubs and a wider span of matches for viewers.
The deal between broadcaster and governing body has increased by 50 per cent from the previous agreement which expires at the end of next season. Under that contract, signed in 2018, Sky are obliged to show 138 league matches plus Carabao Cup fixtures and play-off semi-finals and finals in the Championship, League One and League Two.
