The EFL are ready to consider making every match available for live broadcast and ending the 3pm Saturday blackout in their next television rights deal.
Interested broadcasters and media companies have been invited to come forward and suggest new ways of presenting the EFL on television and streaming platforms from the 2024-25 season, when the current deal with Sky expires. The EFL have made it clear they are willing to ditch the blackout, which has been in place since the 1960s.
"Whilst the appetite for EFL football remains stronger than ever, we want to grow this audience further," the EFL's chief commercial officer Ben Wright said.
"We are inviting proposals from organisations that can enhance and develop the league's offering, taking a new and innovative approach to how people consume EFL content.
"Alongside the EFL's rich tradition and distinguished history there is a desire to evolve, grow and innovate in order to grow our audience further and we're looking for a partner or partners who share that vision."
