How many times each EFL club will be streamed on Paramount+

[ad_1]

Out of the 72 teams in the English Football League (EFL), Paramount+ will be broadcasting one club more than any other between this opening weekend and the end of September. Unsurprisingly, League One side Wrexham AFC is the darling of CBS Sports. Interest in the Welsh side has skyrocketed in recent years due to the popularity of FX’s docuseries Welcome to Wrexham.

In total, nine Wrexham games will be streamed across Paramount+ through the end of September. The first of those nine matches is this Saturday at 12:30 PM ET at home against Wycombe Wanderers. This particular matchup is also available on television via CBS Sports Network.

Following close on the heels of Wrexham are, in the order of most matches scheduled on Paramount+:

Leeds United: 8 (including one League Cup game)
Cardiff City: 7 (including one League Cup game)
Norwich City: 7
Coventry City 6 (including one League Cup game)
Luton Town: 6
Sheffield United: 6 (including one League Cup game)

While Leeds United has the most Championship matches on U.S. television and streaming (7), the club that’s featured the fewest times is Millwall FC with just one Championship match.

Paramount+ deal means more EFL matches available in US

Under the new deal with CBS, 238 or more EFL games will be shown each season. The League Cup schedule remains the same compared to the previous ESPN+ agreement with 30 (or more) matches. The number of Championship games, however, has increased to a minimum of 155. Likewise, more League One and League Two games are planned (a minimum of 38). All 15 playoff matches are also available.

Paramount+ studio coverage of the EFL is set to be led by host Poppy Miller. The popular figure has also worked for the network during their presentation of the Italian Serie A. Miller will also be joined by analysts Nigel Reo-Coker and Mike Grella. Both former players previously played for English clubs during their careers.

Along with the trio, Geoff Shreeves and Anita Jones…
