EFL teams to be shown more than 20 times live on Sky Sports in 2024/25 | Radio Times
Sky Sports+ will broadcast over 1,000 live EFL games to fans – including all 36 opening weekend matches.

This is nothing but an attempt to scrap the blackout by stealth I'm absolutely sure of it. I'm actually not sure what the positives are from this if we exclude any talk of money.
No one asked for this, no one wants this and it reeks of over-saturation. 6 EFL games on simultaneously at 12:30 Saturday will be deeply unpopular as it penalises the fans, especially if it's a long distance away game.
5 years of this shite arrangement before the blackout is scrapped in 2029, the Premier League gets that nice shiny 3pm TV package that it's always wanted to sell whilst every EFL game eventually becomes live to stream too. That's where we'll end up.
