Highlights will continue to air on the BBC's Match of the Day, with this UK's largest-ever sports media rights deal preserving the traditional Saturday 3pm blackout. Nonetheless, every Sunday match starting at 2pm will now be televised.

The BBC's arrangement also spans MOTD2 and Football Focus, together with enhanced digital rights for its online services.

Four out of five packages have gone to Sky, ensuring the airing of at least 215 matches annually. Their schedule includes matches on Saturday late afternoons, Sunday afternoons, Monday and Friday evenings, plus full coverage of three midweek match days.

TNT has been allocated at least 52 games each season, covering early Saturday matches and two midweek series.

In addition to these, Sky Sports will telecast all simultaneous final day fixtures.

Current broadcaster Amazon, which shows 20 matches each season, is not included in the new plan.

This is the league's first bidding process since 2018, following a previous £5 billion agreement for three seasons extended due to Covid-19 disruptions.

The Premier League states this new contract, which represents a 4% live rights value increase from the last and ensures economic stability for professional football clubs until at least 2029.

Premier League CEO Richard Masters expressed the deal’s reflection of the league's vitality and gratitude towards everyone from clubs to fans. Similarly, Barbara Slater, BBC Sport Director, championed the enduring appeal of Match Of The Day and the opportunities the new deal brings for increased digital content.

Sky's CEO Dana Strong also emphasized the network’s commitment to innovating and enhancing Premier League broadcasting through to the decade's end.
