The English Football League are considering scrapping the 3pm Saturday blackout in their next television deal from the 2024-25 season.
The Daily Mail is reporting that interested parties are being invited to bid for the next round of live TV broadcast rights. The likes of Facebook, Netflix, Google, Apple and Amazon are among the companies being targeted by the EFL, as well as the UK's primary domestic right holders, Sky Sports and BT Sport.
The report added: "The EFL's tender document is understood to be a request for proposals rather than a fixed offering, with the board seeking innovative solutions to the changing broadcast market. The board are convinced that by selling more matches they can get a better deal than the current £119 million-a-year contract with Sky, with a target of £200 million-a-year."
