What sport is available on Sky Sports Plus?

The EFL is at the heart of Sky Sports+ coverage and will see over 1,000 games from the Championship, League One and League Two shown live throughout the season, while every Carabao Cup fixture will also be broadcasted.

It's not just football that Sky Sports+ will show. Rugby league fans will be able to watch every single match from the Super League while tennis fans can enjoy coverage from the ATP and WTA Tours and the final grand slam of the year, the US Open from August 26 to September 9.

How many of my EFL team's matches will be live on Sky?

Every League One and League Two team will be featured live on Sky at least 20 times next season.

And every one of the 24 Championship clubs will be live on Sky at least 24 times.

Matches will be broadcast live across existing Sky Sports channels or on the brand new Sky Sports+.

I am a Sky subscriber, do I need to pay extra to watch my team?

No!

Customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won't need to do a thing.

Once live, Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW.

The matches played in League One and League Two during international breaks will also be available live.

For the first time ever, fans will be also able to watch every match from the Carabao Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

Will fixtures keep moving if they are broadcast?

While some matches will be rescheduled for broadcast purposes, the majority of fixtures won't be moved.

Sky Sports has already announced the Sky Bet EFL fixtures to be shown live on Sky Sports and Sky Sports+ until January, with every EFL club featuring multiple times.

Will the '3pm blackout' remain?

The blocked broadcast period - frequently referred to as 'Article 48' - between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons, will remain, meaning that main broadcast fixtures will be scheduled for outside of this time.

What does Sky Sports+ mean for iFollow?

From the 2024/25 season onward, this will effectively replace the EFL's domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services.
