The award celebrates the staff who work tirelessly throughout the season, and in all weathers, to ensure that pitch surfaces are of the highest quality.
Pitches are assessed by the referee for all EFL League matches. The top clubs from each division with the highest divisional average are then visited by members of the team from STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute), where further assessments are carried out, which cover pitch quality, environmental conditions and usage, resources, management and sustainability.
Title winning Leicester City were the winners in the Championship while Leeds United and Watford were highly commended.
Despite a difficult campaign for Carlisle United, their home ground, Brunton Park, has been kept in exceptional condition. League One winners Portsmouth and Exeter City were also highly commended.
League Two winners Stockport County won Grounds Team of the Season for League Two after being highly commended in 2022/23 for their Edgeley Park surface. Harrogate Town and Notts County were also highly commended in League Two.
