The EFL, Football Association and Sky Sports
Thursday
Twenty-five EFL matches kicking off at 3pm on Saturday will be broadcast live domestically because England’s usual television blackout cannot be enforced. The schedule includes six Championship, nine League One and ten League Two fixtures.
UEFA Article 48 requires at least half of matches in a country’s top two divisions to be played simultaneously before blocked hours apply. With the Premier League not starting this weekend, the threshold is not met and Sky can show every match.
