    why pubs can’t use red button? Away this week so can’t get to match. Been in a few pubs this afternoon and most of them said they can’t show red button matches. Gutted!

    Commercial Sky package different to home package would be my guess.

    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.

    Sky can also stream midweek games it is not already broadcasting via its red button service to residential customers.

    It wanted to be able to do this for its commercial customers, too, namely pubs, but the league pushed back and a compromise was reached giving Sky eight more midweek games it can put on another channel on nights when it is showing a game on its main channel.
