Watch your EFL team more than 20 times per season on Sky Sports+ from August
The scale of Sky Sports+ will be clear from the opening weekend of the 2024/25 EFL season, when every game from all three divisions – Championship, League One and League Two – will be streamed live, a first in broadcast history.
Sky Sports+ marks the start of a new long-term and groundbreaking partnership with the EFL, with more than 1,000 EFL games per season, with each team participating more than 20 times and each Championship club participating at least 24 times.
Jonathan Licht, managing director of Sky Sports, said: “Exceptional sport, covered in innovative and compelling ways, has been a big part of our story. With the launch of Sky Sports+, we are now able to offer sports fans more choice and an even better experience when watching the live action, at no additional cost.
“For the first time, we will be broadcasting every game live from across the EFL on the opening weekend. It will be a huge moment for football fans across the country and is a fitting launch for our ground-breaking new game.” Partnership with the EFL.
“And that is just the beginning; Sky Sports+ gives us the potential to evolve and find new ways to deliver brilliant sport to our customers.”

Live pause and rewind will be available on all simultaneous streams, and the ‘Recap’ feature, currently available for Premier League and Championship games, will also be available for EFL games broadcast on the linear channel Sky Sports+ to be shown.
