The Football League has signed a new three-season title sponsorship agreement with online bookmaker and current partner Sky Bet.

The new agreement, which will deliver increased revenue to League clubs, will begin in August 2016 and run until at least 2019, with the title sponsorship once again becoming a standalone arrangement.

Following the recently announced re-branding of The Football League to the EFL, the competition will become known as the Sky Bet EFL with its three divisions continuing to be known as the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two – Sky Bet will also be the title sponsor of the Sky Bet Play-Offs.

Football League Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey said: “At a time when The Football League is very much focused on its future, which includes our imminent re-branding to the EFL, it is a great encouragement to see Sky Bet putting their continued faith in our competition and our clubs.

“This is an excellent way to end an outstanding year of league football and, on behalf of clubs, I would like to offer my appreciation to Sky Bet for their continued commitment.”
