In May, the 72 EFL clubs unanimously voted to accept a record $1.2 billion, five-year deal through which pay-TV broadcaster Sky will retain domestic media rights to the three leagues for the next cycle from 2024-25 to 2028-29.

That deal is a 50% increase on the league’s current deal with Sky, which expires at the end of next season and will see more than 1,000 matches broadcast per year over the course of the agreement.

Chris Silcock, UK managing director of Kellogg’s, added: “It’s been our great privilege to be part of British life for more than one hundred years, so it’s only right we should be joining up with another iconic institution like the EFL. Both Kellogg’s and the EFL are brands at the heart of communities up and down the country and this is the start of a great partnership.”
