The programme covers the English Football League, replacing EFL on Quest which had been broadcast on the Quest channel. Its launch marked a return for football highlights to terrestrial television and a return to ITV after thirteen years.[1]

ITV signed a two-year deal which also includes highlights from the EFL Cup and EFL Trophy.[2][3]

Hugh Woozencroft and Jules Breach were announced as the presenters in June 2022.[4]

The show airs on Saturday evening at 9pm on ITV4, with subsequent repeats on Saturday night and Sunday morning on ITV1, and availability on demand on ITVX.[5]

ITV previously aired Football League Extra between August 1994 and May 2004 and The Championship between August 2004 and May 2009.
