The number of Birmingham City games shown on Sky Sports compared to Burnley, Watford & Cardiff - gallery

These surprising figures show a big contrast for how many occasions each Championship club has been shown live on TV during the 2022/23 season.

Sky Sports has been the home to EFL and Sky Bet Championship coverage since the mid-1990s and the broadcaster will remain so as it recently announced an extension to their long-term partnership.

The fresh five-year deal, which will come into force at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, is worth around £935 million and the EFL says it represents a 50% increase to clubs from the current arrangement.

As a result, a significant increase in the number of matches shown will become apparent, with the current system of club streaming services set to be phased out. In total, 1059 EFL fixtures will be broadcast on Sky Sports throughout the 2023/24 season.

But how many were televised during the season just gone? And which teams led the way in having the most games on Sky Sports? Flick through the pages for a breakdown, from the least to most TV showings.
