The EFL are reportedly preparing to make every match available for live broadcast as they consider ending the Saturday 3pm blackout.
Fans in the UK are currently not permitted to watch games in the traditional Saturday kick-off slot unless they are at the ground due to the blackout rule which came into effect in the 1960s. Article 48 of UEFA's statues currently stipulates that no Premier League, Football League or FA Cup matches can be broadcast on live UK television on Saturday between 14.45 and 17.15.
However, according to the Daily Mail, that could all change, with the EFL sending invitations to big broadcasters such as Facebook, Netflix, Google, Apple, Amazon, Sky Sports and BT Sport, requesting proposals as the board seek to alter the way matches are broadcast in a radical move.
