Football League World investigates how much money Coventry City and Leicester City will earn from Sky Sports TV deal next season

Coventry City and Leicester City are set to meet once more in the 2025/26 Championship campaign.

The two rivals last faced off during the 2023/24 season, with both sides enjoying victories at home.

The Foxes are still waiting on the outcome of their alleged PSR breach, which could result in a minimum 12-point penalty if found guilty.

Meanwhile Frank Lampard’s men will be aiming to bounce back from play-off heartbreak last term and make a charge towards the top six next year.

As the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign draws closer, how much are the clubs set to earn from Sky Sports' TV deal next season? Football League World investigates...

How much money Leicester City and Coventry City can expect to receive from Sky Sports TV deal

As both clubs will be competing in the same division, they'll both be operating under the financial framework of the £935 million five-year broadcasting agreement the Football League have with Sky Sports.

The new deal means that Sky can show all mid-week matches, all Carabao Cup ties and all games on Bank Holidays plus the first and last days of the campaign.

The agreement was worth about £60 million per season more than the previous one and Championship outfits will be about 46 per cent better off.

Leicester and Coventry will receive around £3-4 million annually as their portion of the television deal - with additional earnings potentially available through facility fees of between £500k to £1.5m per match when their games are selected for live broadcast.

International television rights also contribute another £1-2 million to each club's annual income as well, meaning the pair can expect to earn between £9.5 -12.5 million each from television revenue and related payments.

Leicester and Coventry could find themselves near each other in the Championship tablenext season

Although the Foxes will more than likely start next term as one of the division’s most competitive outfits, their impending points penalty could seriously delay their progress up the table.

Coventry became one of the Championship’s best sides last year following Lampard’s appointment and took Sunderland all the way during their play-off clash.

Therefore, it could be imagined that the two teams will be fighting towards the sharp end of the second-tier during the 2025/26 campaign.

Despite possessing less quality, Coventry’s potential 12-point head start on their rivals may allow them to seriously mount a challenge to finish above the Foxes come next May.

Time will tell whether that eventuality unfolds, but one thing is for certain: the two games between Coventry and Leicester are set to be box-office examples of Championship football at its best.
