one tie from each of the first four rounds
one additional tie from either the third or fourth round
two quarter-final ties
one semi-final tie
the final
Additionally, ITV will simulcast 10 matches from the EFL Championship each full season, and five matches in the second half of the 2024/25 season, with the option to flex their selection to matches from League One or League Two.
