TV Change Dates for the EFL Championship

When does television change game dates and times in the English Football League? We have all those dates here for the 2024-25 season.

Remember, when the schedule, or “fixtures list,” is first released, it will show everyone playing at the same time each week. But as you know from watching English soccer on television, they don’t all stay at the same time.

The changes are even more severe in the Premier League (when does TV change the Premier League schedule?), but in the Football League, they are adjusting — or “flexing” if you’re American — more games than ever this season. Up to 10 games each week will be broadcast — up to five in the Championship, and up to five in League One/Two — which means that only 26 of the 36 games each weekend will be played Saturday at 3 p.m., when no football is broadcast in the UK.

These changes are made throughout the season. And the good news is that this season they have increased the notice of change from 5 weeks to up to 5 months in some cases.

Here are the upcoming TV games posted on the official EFL website.

TV Change Dates for EFL Championship

  • Games August 9 to September 29: Already done.
  • Games October 1 to January 11: Prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, which is August 9. This is the really big change in EFL tv dates for the 2024-25 season.

For the rest of the season, they don’t guarantee these dates, but they are subject to a minimum notice — usually four weeks until the last two weeks of the season.

  • Games January 18 to January 25: December 18, 2024.
  • Games February 1 to 12: January 1, 2025.
  • Games February 22: January 22, 2025.
  • Games March 1: February 1, 2o25.
  • Games of March 8: February 8, 2025.
  • Games of March 11-15: February 11, 2025.
  • Games from March 29: March 1, 2025.
  • Games from April 5-9: March 5, 2025.
  • Games of April 12: March 12, 2025.
  • Games of April 18-21: March 18, 2025.
  • Games of April 26: March 26, 2025.
  • Games of May 3: April 3, 2025. This is the last day of the season, so all games will be at the same time. The announcement is simply which ones will be broadcast.
