Premier League agrees new TV rights deal with Sky Sports & TNT Sports

The Premier League has agreed a new deal with Sky Sports and TNT Sports worth £6.7bn over four years for its UK TV rights – the deal runs from the 2025-26 season.

Sky Sports has been awarded live rights packages B, C, D and E, covering a minimum of 215 live matches per season, which will include more than 140 matches played at weekends, evening matches on Fridays and Mondays, and full coverage of three midweek match rounds. For the first time, Sky Sports will also broadcast all 10 matches on the final day of each season.

TNT Sports has been awarded live rights package A, covering 52 live matches per season, including exclusive coverage of matches played on Saturdays at 12.30pm and full coverage of two midweek match rounds.

BBC gets highlights deal
BBC Sport has been awarded highlights rights for all 380 Premier League matches each season, with additional digital rights for the BBC’s online platforms. The agreement will see BBC ‘Match of the Day’ continue to bring Premier League action to millions of viewers each week, alongside a full range of additional programming.
