And the broadcasters agreed on a stand-alone Thursday night slot, bringing weekend games forward when no midweek action is scheduled.
Championship matches will be mainly screened on Friday evenings and Saturday lunchtimes.
It’s unclear when EFL chiefs will officially announce the implementation of Thursday night fixtures.
They have, however, already announced that all three leagues will get kick-off over the same weekend.
The weekend of August 10/11 will play host to the return of the Championship, League One and League Two.
The season will end on May 5, 2025, for teams not involved in the play-offs.
The 46 Championship matches are currently slated to take place over 33 weekends, nine midweeks and four Bank Holidays.
Leagues One and Two, meanwhile, will be played over 36 weekends, six midweeks and four Bank Holidays.
