Birmingham City to benefit from £935m deal despite relegation to League One
Sky Sports’ new agreement with the EFL will see a minimum of 20 Birmingham City games broadcast live on television the following season.
With the signing of the £935 million contract in April, Sky Sports will be able to stream over 1,000 EFL games the following season.After the broadcaster promised to telecast at least 20 matches during the 2024–2025 campaign, Blues’ fall to League One will hardly have an impact on watching figures.
There is no certainty that League One and League Two clubs will have any of their games televised thanks to Sky’s current TV agreement with the EFL. Supporters will be able to watch all of the EFL Trophy fixtures as well as a few Carabao Cup matches on the Sky Sports+ channel. This is the first time Blues will compete in the competition since they won it in 1995.
There will be live coverage of every League One match that falls outside of the customary Saturday 3 p.m. blackout, with at least two games aired each weekend. Sky Sports will broadcast every match on the opening and closing weekends of the season.
There will probably be a live match on Friday, August 9 at 8 p.m. to kick off the League One season. Blues will find out their schedule for the forthcoming season on Wednesday, June 26 at 9:00 a.m.
Sky has promised to notify fans in advance when choosing which games to stream live starting at the start of the season. When decisions are more difficult towards the conclusion of the season, Sky will attempt to give viewers at least four weeks’ notice.
