Sky Sports+ explained: how to watch EFL games on Sky (2026/27)

Sky Sports+ is where most live EFL football is shown: more than 1,000 Championship, League One, League Two, Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy games a season. It's included for Sky Sports and NOW Sports customers at no extra cost. Here's how to find it.

What is Sky Sports+?

Sky Sports+ is a Sky Sports channel plus a set of extra live streams that can carry up to 100 live events at once. That's how Sky can show so many EFL matches on the same night.

Is it included in my subscription?

Yes. Sky Sports+ comes with any Sky Sports subscription at no extra cost, and a NOW Sports membership includes every Sky Sports+ stream as well.

How to watch on Sky

On Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream, Sky Sports+ is on channel 404. Use the red button to switch between the extra live streams. With Multiview, you can watch up to four live EFL games on one screen.

How to watch on the Sky Sports app

Open the Sky Sports app, go to the Live section and tap Sky Sports+. You'll need to sign in with your Sky iD. If you follow your team in the app, its live games appear under "Your live events".

Which EFL games are on Sky?

Sky's deal runs until at least 2029. This season, every midweek EFL game is shown live, plus up to ten games from each weekend round, Bank Holiday games and every game on the final day. During international breaks, every League One and League Two match is live too. Every Carabao Cup tie is also on Sky.

The exception is Saturday 3pm: those kick-offs aren't shown live in the UK because of the blackout, except on the opening day and the final day of the season. See why 3pm games aren't on TV.

Find the channel for any EFL game

Every EFL match on KickoffTV shows whether it's on Sky Sports+ or a main Sky Sports channel. See the Championship, League One and League Two schedules, or our full EFL TV guide.
