The latest EFL TV selections for the 2025/26 season have been revealed by broadcaster ITV for the next few months.
ITV has announced their first confirmed fixtures for the 2025/26 English Football League season.
As part of the continued deal between Sky Sports and ITV, the broadcaster will give UK football fans the chance to watch free-to-air coverage of select Carabao Cup and EFL matches.
A total of 20 matches will be broadcast by ITV in the 2025/26 season, made up of 10 Carabao Cup ties and 10 EFL selections.
ITV’s coverage kicks off with Round One of the Carabao Cup, with Birmingham City v Sheffield United on Wednesday, 13 August.
The match is shortly followed by Wrexham v West Bromwich Albion in the Championship on Saturday 16 August.
Sky Sports and ITV’s deal runs until the end of the 2026/27 season, which means ITV will jointly broadcast a select number of games, also available on Sky Sports.
ITV will continue to air extended highlights of the EFL on ITV4 and ITVX throughout the season as part of the deal.

Twitter users reacted to the latest EFL TV selections revealed by Sky Sports…
@Biggsy1980: What is the point anymore! Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Football clubs, Leagues & Sky fucking TV won’t be happy until grounds are empty & we all watch at home. Thanks a fucking lot. Another handful of games I won’t be able to go to this is just the start. Put the fans first!
@ChrisBr08824474: Sky tv just don’t give a s**t about fans moving Saturday games to Friday nights when supporters might work shifts and have to use holidays to watch there teams. Bring back Saturday 3:00pm kick offs to all leagues!!!
@kingpowers: Sky TV is fucking shit 🎶
@Biggsy1980: Fuck off and leave game at 3 o’clock. Football for the fans.
@Raking5:
So it begins…..🙄
Coventry (H) 1230 kickoff
Bristol City (H) Friday night
Wrexham (A) 1230 kickoff
Thanks @SkySports
#DCFC
@mattmadrid1982: @SkySports absolutely ruining football for the fan that actually goes the game 🤢
@skol_ding: Fuck off @EFL and @SkySports. Literally no one gives a fuck about either team except those who would go to the game or have an ifollow pass (or whatever it’s called) anyway. And now less people will bother to show up. Load of shit these 12.30s #readingfc
@Ricey04: At least sky don’t want us on tele anymore #swfc
@The_Watts: Sky might as well rebrand as “Fuck the fans”
@Tyler7Smith: Cracking work 🤦🏻♂️ Just the 277 miles for #colu fans to do for a 12:30 kick off. 0 consideration for fans up and down the leagues again
@DonnyBladesman: Ipswich away Friday night with no trains back. Thinking of the fans as always. 👏🏻
@ValiantKyle: @SkySports congratulations, you win the biggest strings award of broadcasting. Vale Vs Cardiff – first home game on a Thursday? You can’t keep doing this to fit your stupid agenda. Football isn’t for the fans anymore and you’re playing your part in that. #efl #pvfc #bluebirds
