EFL clubs have today been notified of the latest TV selection picks and now have three days to make appropriate arrangements with police and Safety Advisory Groups to agree any proposed changes to kick-off times for live coverage.
Confirmation of agreed TV fixtures will then be made via the EFL's social media channels at 11am on Wednesday 19th July.
