The EFL confirmed in a statement shared following the conclusion of the regular season last month that sides had voted in favour of introducing the new SCR system, which limits spending on player and manager-related costs to a set percentage of income, alongside owner funding.

From the 2026/27 campaign, the SCR allowance of clubs will be set at 85 per cent of income. That margin will have a flexible equity top-up allowance of £33million over a three-year period, with owners allowed to fund up to a maximum of £15million a season.
