Sky Sports secures record Premier League TV rights deal

Sky Sports will screen a minimum of 215 Premier League matches a season as part of a domestic rights agreement worth a record £6.7 billion [€8.7 billion].

The broadcaster secured four of the five packages on offer in the league's latest domestic rights tender which starts in 2025-26, with TNT Sports netting the other package of 52 games.

Amazon, who show 20 matches per season under the league's current deal, have not secured rights for the new domestic cycle which runs through to the end of the 2028-29 season.

The Premier League said the value of the agreements being announced, which also cover non-live rights, was £6.7 billion, the largest sports media rights deal in UK history.

The current live TV deal, which runs through to 2024-25, has been reported to be worth £5 billion [€5.8 billion] over the three-year cycle.
