Premier League announce revolutionary £6.7 billion TV deal with Sky from 2025 - which sees all matches outside of 3pm blackout televised - as decision on Match of the Day also made

The Premier League have <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/news/3807882" target="_blank">announced</a> a staggering new deal worth £6.7bn that will completely exclude Amazon from the broadcasting cabal, and has instead awarded games to both Sky and TNT. The deal runs for four seasons from the 2025-26 campaign, and Sky will broadcast at least 215 matches per season, with every game from the final day also on television. All matches outside of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/why-is-there-a-saturday-football-blackout-in-the-uk-for-live-streams--tv-broadcasts/1bs2qnkj73shx1uryui898tax6" target="_blank">the traditional 3pm blackout</a> on Saturday will air live and be available for fans to watch. TNT Sports will show 52 matches.

WHAT HAPPENED?

While games will air this week on Amazon Prime, the broadcaster has been completely shut out of the rights sale, and has not landed a single game. TNT have exclusive rights to 12:30pm Saturday kick-offs, and also have rights to full coverage of two midweek matchdays.The BBC will continue to air Match of the Day, as they have received full rights to the highlights package for all 380 matches. Their deal signed with the Premier League lasts for four more years.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Masters 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 longstanding 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.&nbsp;“We are also extremely pleased to extend our partnership with BBC Sport, which will continue to bring weekly highlights of all Premier League matches to the widest possible audience in the UK. Match of the Day has been an institution for generations of football fans in this country and remains incredibly popular with fans of all ages.“The outcome of this process underlines the strength of the Premier League and is testament to our clubs, players and managers who continue to deliver the world’s most competitive football in full stadiums, and to supporters, who create an unrivalled atmosphere every week.”

WHAT PREMIER LEAGUE CEO RICHARD MASTERS SAID

Despite there being some doubts over the feasibility of another immensely valuable rights package being sold, the Premier League continues to be awash with cash. Expect spending to continue at a meteoric rate, as top-flight clubs forked out an incredible £2.3 billion ($2.9bn) in the summer.
