Premier League completes sales process for UK live rights & free-to-air highlights

Four-year deals to 2028/29 season concluded with Sky Sports and TNT Sports for five live packages and with BBC Sport for free-to-air highlights

The next TV rights deal is split between Sky and TNT, with Sky having the vast majority as expected.

I'm surprised Amazon or any other big players (DAZN for example) aren't involved, this would have been a good chance to shift as way from Sky and freshen up the content offering.

Sky Sports has been awarded live rights packages B, C, D and E, covering a minimum of 215 live matches per season, which will include more than 140 matches played at weekends, evening matches on Fridays and Mondays, and full coverage of three midweek match rounds. For the first time, Sky Sports will also broadcast all 10 matches on the final day of each season.

TNT Sports has been awarded live rights package A, covering 52 live matches per season, including exclusive coverage of matches played on Saturdays at 12.30pm and full coverage of two midweek match rounds.

For the first time in the UK, all matches taking place outside of the Saturday 3pm "closed period", including those displaced to Sunday 2pm because of club participation in European competitions, will be broadcast live.

As much as they are twats, they lead the way in getting the deals done when they come around for renewal, only disappointment is that TNT have the slack again, was hoping someone could outbid them, only to see Fletcher off air, and as I've mentioned before on here, the southern fucking useless pundits they wheel out Saturday lunchtimes.

Fuck both of them. Never give them a penny.

The vote is a closed shop for the main slots, Sky have the clubs by the balls under The Premier League format.
they never invite bidders for the main slots because the club's hands are tied,

if the voting system and bidding were an open auction the major internet companies would blow Sky out of the water, All it would take is one major internet site to pay a starting bid of £10billion, and without blinking it would be a war between companies fighting over the rights

Fuck both of them. Never give them a penny.

Is the correct answer - in particular, Sky.

70% increase in live games, but only 4% rise in revenue.

Clubs have no options because it's a closed shop

 

[cleavers]

Seems amazon have given it up.

The BBC are highlighting the news with a graphic of Liverpool players celebrating a Dipper goal. Wonder why they've chosen that photo?
