Case Study: English Football League achieves a future-proof digital platform with Valtech

English Football League boosts mobile traffic to 75% with Valtech

The English Football League (EFL) faced challenges with its outdated and user-unfriendly digital platform, which was difficult to update and struggled to meet modern website expectations. The EFL selected Valtech as its digital design and development partner to build a future-proof platform that would enhance the fan experience, create commercial opportunities, and provide stable support for all 72 member clubs.

Valtech implemented an agile methodology to deliver a new, flexible digital platform built on Episerver DXC. The solution included unique, customizable websites for each club, a Live Match Centre, and integrated advertising and subscription revenue streams. As a result, Valtech successfully launched 65 websites in just nine months, which now host 80% of all UK football sites. The platform achieved a 7% decrease in bounce rate and handles 75% of its traffic through mobile devices.
