Sky has launched its new Sky Sports+ dedicated channel and numerous live streams.
The launch of Sky Sports+ comes in time for the EFL opening weekend, with every game from across the Championship, League One and League Two streamed live, a first in broadcasting history.
On Saturday 10 August, Sky will offer 30 matches across all three divisions broadcast either on Sky Sports linear channels or streamed via Sky Sports+.
Beyond live sport, Sky Sports+ will also give customers access to Sky’s sports documentaries at least two weeks before other Sky channels. This starts with Mission to Burnley 2, following Burnley FC’s return to the Premier League last season.
Sky Sports+ features include live pause and rewind available on all new live streams. It has an updated user interface and live scores from concurrent events will also be displayed on match tiles.
Jonathan Licht, Managing Director at Sky Sports, said: “Sky Sports+ is here, taking sports viewing to the next level by offering unmatched access and choice through numerous live streams and our new dedicated channel. We’re showing up for football fans like never before this season, showing every EFL team more than 20 times a season, and this weekend, our viewers can look forward to seeing every EFL game live. We’re thrilled to offer this to customers at no extra cost, ensuring they can enjoy even more of the sport they love this summer.”
