The EFL has entered into an exclusive negotiating period with Sky Sports for its next set of broadcast rights.
The league’s current five-year deal with Sky runs until the end of the 2023-24 season, and it issued invitations to tender earlier this year.
The league issued a statement on Monday afternoon which read: “The EFL has now completed a full and comprehensive review of the multiple ITT submissions received as part of its broadcast rights sales process from 2024 onwards.
The League will now enter into an exclusive month-long negotiating period with the preferred bidder, Sky Sports.
No further comment will be made on this matter at the current time.#EFL
