Will one be able to watch a particular teams league matches every week on TV?

Only via iFollow and then only if you live overseas or, at least, your PC does.
The TV coverage for this season is the usual - Sky showing the odd live game during the season and the playoffs, with ITV having a highlight show each week.
The big change is next season with the new Sky TV deal. Lots more efl live games. Not sure if iFollow will still be available for the games not covered by Sky though.

From the latest EFL Broadcasting deal announcement:
"Article 48 to remain
The new deal allows for ‘Article 48’, the blocked broadcast period between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons to remain, meaning that main broadcast fixtures will be scheduled for outside of this time. Final fixture slots will be confirmed at a later date.
Domestic Streaming
From the 2024/25 season onward, this agreement makes more matches available to stream and will effectively replace the current Sky Sports EFL red button coverage and the EFL’s domestic streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services. Domestic streaming audio services will remain alongside existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences via iFollow and club streaming services."
If you want to stream Saturday matches via a VPN, well that's up to you.

The way Sky are bumping up their subs we'll probably need a lottery win to pay them by the 2024/25 season.

I'm hoping that it will still be possible to buy a Sky Sports 24 hour pass through Now TV, currently £11.99 I think. Worked fine for Sheffield Wednesday away game. Better value than ifollow (plus VPN)

Doesn't sound too bad until you times it by 12 and it's over £600 p.a. which means earning almost £1,000 before tax/NI deductions to pay for it. I've got my subs down to £50 but will probably be stung with another increase when the new season starts. Does Sky Steam lag like iFollow so you then get Twitter notifications goals well before they are scored? |

I can't remember how many Rovers games could be shown but if it's at least 10 then that's £120 v £141 for all 46 league games plus EFL Trophy games, iFollow is amazing value for money compared to Sky/BT Sport(now TNT Sport!) |

It will be interesting to see where the Premiership goes now the Saudi league is out trumping them, got to admit I am enjoying the fact the plastics are getting wound up by it. I mean £700,000 a week for Jordan Henderson is insane, what would they pay Harland? Hopefully they will take him away in January to make their product even weaker. |

However the production quality isn't very good. |
