New Premier League TV deal with Sky and TNT includes historic first as fans to get more football than EVER on the box

The Premier League have announced the distribution of TV rights from 2025/26...and their agreement with Sky Sports and TNT includes an historic first.

The English top flight is one of the most marketable brands in global sport and their agreement with Sky in particular sees clubs rake in hundreds of millions every season. The last TV deal between the league and the chief broadcaster was worth more than £1BILLION per season and they have just announced the latest four-year TV rights agreements that will run from 2025/26 through to the end of 2028/29.

Unsurprisingly it's Sky who have hoovered up the bulk of the live games, purchasing four of the five packages available, with TNT Sports picking up the other. And between the two broadcasters, every game outside of the Saturday 3pm 'blackout' will be broadcast live, for the first time ever.

For Sky it means a 70 per cent uptick in games shown live, 215 per season, and a commitment to broadcasting more live games than they ever have. TNT meanwhile have picked up 52 live games per season for the four years the deal covers.

Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive said: “We are delighted to announce new deals with Sky Sports and TNT Sports that will extend our partnership for a further four years and see more Premier League matches than ever before shown live from 2025/26 onwards.

“As long-standing and valued partners, Sky Sports and TNT Sports are renowned for consistently delivering world-class coverage and programming. We have enjoyed record audiences and attendances in recent seasons, and we know that their continued innovation will drive more people to watch and follow the Premier League.

“We are also extremely pleased to extend our partnership with BBC Sport,
