Quest to show EFL Highlights in place of Channel 5

Quest to televise EFL highlights
The EFL announces that Quest has replaced Channel 5 as the new broadcaster of the EFL highlights.

The EFL has revealed that Quest has become the new home for highlights of its five competitions.

The broadcaster - the Discovery-owned free-to-air TV channel powered by Eurosport - will replace Channel 5 in showing highlights from the Championship, League One, League Two, EFL Cup and Checkatrade Trophy.

EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "As our new official highlights partner, we're looking forward to working with Quest over the next four years. This new partnership will provide excellent coverage of EFL football for supporters of our Clubs on a free-to-air platform at a primetime slot of 9pm on a Saturday evening. In addition the Carabao Cup and Checkatrade Trophy highlights will also be available alongside special midweek shows to ensure that fans are kept fully updated with what's happening across our competitions.

"As an experienced broadcaster, clubs and their fans will be able to access high quality coverage on a channel that is committed to making the EFL highlights programme one of its flagship shows, led by the talented and respected host in Colin Murray, who has become a strong advocate for the work the League is undertaking both on and off the pitch.

"Quest is the largest channel in the Discovery portfolio with over 12 million people tuning in each month and alongside the rights based programming, they will utilise their existing and emerging digital platforms to enhance the experience for fans to help tell the EFL story as the new season starts to unfold."

Quest can be accessed on Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin Media and BT TV.
