ITV to broadcast EFL highlights in 2022-23 season

ITV is to show English Football League (EFL) highlights from next season.

The broadcaster has confirmed a comprehensive round-up of all the day's action across the EFL - the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One, and Sky Bet League Two - will air on Saturdays at 9pm on ITV4, and a repeat will air on ITV later in the evening, from the 2022/23 season.

Highlights of midweek fixtures, when a full round has taken place, will also be available on ITV and ITV Hub.

ITV has agreed a two-season partnership with the EFL, which also includes them showing highlights form the Carabao Cup and the Papa John’s Trophy.

EFL Chief Executive Trevor Birch said: "With 1,891 matches played across the season, it’s crucial for the EFL that the very best of our match action is widely accessible and we are delighted that ITV will show highlights of our games for the next two years.

"As an experienced major broadcaster with a comprehensive sports portfolio, ITV’s commitment to high quality coverage will showcase the breadth and depth of our competitions to football supporters all over the country."

Niall Sloane, ITV Director of Sport, said: "This deal brings viewers free to air coverage of one of the most unpredictable divisions we have in the Sky Bet Championship, the best of the action from Sky Bet League One and League Two alongside the exciting midweek competitions in the Carabao Cup and the Papa John’s Trophy.

"By offering highlights across our platforms, via our channels and on demand on ITV Hub, we hope football fans will enjoy our EFL shows from next season."

The Championship is currently topped by Fulham, who are managed by Marco Silva, while Derby County - managed by Wayne Rooney - are aiming to stay up despite suffering a 21-point deduction earlier in the season.
