[EXTRACT]
DAZN has reportedly made an audacious bid to broadcast the entirety of the EFL live on UK television starting from the 2024-25 season.
Sky Sports is the incumbent broadcaster of the EFL, paying around £119m a year for 138 games across the Championship, League One and League Two, the playoffs and the EFL Cup.
If successful, DAZN's bid would mark a ten-fold increase in the number of EFL games available to UK viewers, with all 1,656 matches from the three divisions being broadcast live.

It might as well be a completely different sport for all the relevance it has to Amazon’s extremely cheap Premier League rights.
£119m would buy about 15 Premier League games from the principal contracts held by Sky/BT.
