A five-year domestic rights deal with Sky Sports from the 2019/20 season. Worth £119m a season, or £595m in total, the agreement gives Sky the right to 138 EFL games a season, including 16 midweek Championship games, all the play-off matches, 15 Carabao Cup games and the Checkatrade Trophy’s semi-finals and final.
