The Premier League has agreed a new £6.7billion UK rights package that will allow fans to watch every live match outside out the Saturday 3pm blackout.

The deal, that runs for four seasons from 2025-26, is the largest sports media rights contract ever concluded in the UK and represents a four per cent increase on the previous agreement. 

Sky Sports will broadcast at least 215 matches per season during this period, including all 10 matches on the final day of the season for the first time.

Along with Sky Sports, TNT are set to show 52 matches per season while BBC retain their rights to broadcast highlights over the period. 

However, Amazon, who are set to play centre stage for this week’s midweek slate, have not secured broadcasting rights from 2025.
