TV rights battle grows with £200m bid to air every Bristol City and Bristol Rovers game live

Streaming platform DAZN have reportedly entered the bidding for the EFL TV rights package which would see all 1,656 matches – meaning every Bristol City and Bristol Rovers game – streamed live.

The EFL is considering seeking an end to the 3pm Saturday blackout when the new rights package begins in 2024/25, which would allow supporters to watch every game in the Championship, League One and League Two live.

Sky Sports holds the broadcasting rights until 2024, showing 138 live games, with the vast majority involving Championship clubs. City have been on Sky several times this season, both on featured coverage as well as red button screenings, while the Gas were featured live by the broadcaster for the first time in more than five years when they faced Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in October.
