SKY Sports agree new Premier League TV rights deal with 70% more matches being screened live
- Thread starter RedRocket9908
- Start date
Where will the 70 per cent come from?
They can't show 3pm Saturday ones so does this mean more of the 2pm Sunday games will be broadcast?
I'd assume we're getting more Friday and Monday football too

"More Premier League action than any other broadcaster, with at least four matches every week."
More than which broadcasters? Other places show 10 matches every week.

Thought the blackout was ending?
They're gonna crack down hard on streaming and dodgy boxes after spending that kind of money.
Stay strong, stream and dodgy box providers. You fecking heroes.

The unrivalled line-up of Premier League football on Sky Sports will include
- At least 215 live games each season.
- All first pick matches, giving fans the best matches week in week out until May 2029.
- Super Sunday remains the flagship kick-off slot at 4.30pm.
- First and last word on a Premier League weekend with more live games on Fridays and Mondays.
- For the first time, all the final games on the last day of the season will be live in one place, creating a real moment for fans.
- And in another first, Sky Sports will now be able to offer multiple live matches on a number of weekends at Sunday 2pm.
- Most of the festive season fixtures, with Boxing Day Premier League football back on Sky Sports.
I can watch 100% of matches for a full season for the cost of one month of Sky/BT
I guess Sky Sports thinks the UK is the only place in the world.
It's pretty shit that everywhere else can watch every game in the PL, but we can't in the UK. At least they will show some more on Sundays.

IPTV is the future.

Is this what the Glazers are hanging around for?
Shite for consumers. No 3pm kick-offs as per. Streaming confirmed for another 4 years.
Nothing they can do until the law changes
Oh yay!
Sounds like a 4% increase so a extra £300m? (£75m per season)
I don’t know if this is what they thought was going to explode or whether it’s the international tv deals?
Edit: ignore me. I think the current deal is £4.7B and new deal is £6.7B
Edit 2: I’m confused
“The announced agreements will deliver a total of £6.7billion in revenue across the four-year period, inclusive of a four per cent increase in live rights value compared to the previous process. “

I wonder what the increase in money is. You'd imagine it would be quite significant
70% more Newcastle at half 5 on a Saturday.
Wouldn't even surprise me
no. they are hanging around until PL clubs can show their games live on their own in house channel.

Yeah thing is there were whispers about digital season tickets that would blow the doors off, but that must be a while off
I'm sure I read somewhere that either Saturday/Sunday 8pm ko will also now be a thing.
Wonder when the PL will get wise to the idea that they should be cutting out the middle man. So depressing to see the status quo.
Could be right
Sky Sports could show
Friday 8PM
Saturday 12:30 or 5:30/8pm
Sunday 2pm/4:30pm/8pm
Monday 8pm
This will passed down to the consumer - sky sports will only get more expensive.
You think people will keep paying it? I just feel like there's going to be a LOT of people that prioritise heating their homes and feeding themselves over listening to Gary Neville waffle on. I wouldn't mind getting Sky but it's barely worth the price as it is, get more value out of just about every other streaming service to be honest.
The weekly VAR controversies aside, until City etc get their comeuppance it all feels wildly inauthentic.
Sky Sports will hike the price. 100%.
You can watch more games, but you'll have to pay more money than before. That includes to TNT too.
Fvck off, Sky. I'm quite happy with the Canadian company that gives me 100% of the games for way cheaper.

Ah yea people will keep paying it.
What i would do is just get the sky sports package on now tv - dont bother getting the tnt package at all and just go to the pub when their match is on at 12.30 on saturday. At least this is what i would do if i wasnt getting sky sports off my parents account.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I really dislike the Saturday evening games. Means there’s feck all to watch in the morning and it usually clashes with whatever bollocks I’ve got going on in the evening.
Although that’s not necessarily a bad thing, considering how shit we were on Saturday.

And it’s not even the worst 8pm, Sunday at 8pm is just awful
The cost per game has gone down quite a bit I think.
Agree they're still wedded to the same dinosaur model... Will change, eventually.

There was a point in my life when I would have been delighted with this. But, trying to get to watch even a few matches per week is tough these days.
Just allow people to stream the games directly in the PL app and sell a season pass like F1 or the NFL. I get it's complicated with all broadcaster contracts already in place worldwide but this should be the future. And they should stream all the games and do away with the 3pm blackout.
So 4 on sky and 1 on TNT? Better than what we have now but I was hoping the blackout would be gone.
Would it be possible for the government (or a future government) to intervene with these tv deals, I understand this would be unthinkable in the past due to Murdoch, but someone needs to point the Premier League in the direction of setting up a direct streaming services that brings in the revenue they need without fleecing fans. I understand there's an independent regulator appointed by the government to protect fans, but I suspect that's only been set up to get a slice of the pie next time an oil sheik wants to buy a club.
More Gary Neville commentary on our games. Yay!!!! (If we are still in PL then)
Will the Premier League schedule fewer 3pm games moving forward? Some Saturday 3pm slots this season have only had 3 or 4 games, and then loads of games on Sunday instead.
Maybe more Saturday night games too.
I'd imagine so yeah, I'm not sure if the PL is obliged to have Saturday 3pm kick-offs but we may see only one or two games some weekends
In theory it could be
1 Friday night game
3 Saturday games at 12:30, 5:30 and 8
3 games maybe more on a Sunday at 2, 4:30 and 8
1 Monday night game
That's 8 games which only leaves 2 Saturday 3pms
Dunno if they’d manage to get £6.7bn out of that.
Sounds good for the consumer your idea, though, like it.
It’s just the lowest priority for the prem
