THE new season sees the start of a new multi-billion pound Premier League TV rights deal with 100 extra games a year being shown by Sky alone.

Under the four-year agreement, Sky will show at least 215 matches a season including for the first time all games rescheduled to 2pm on a Sunday due to clubs’ European commitments. Sky say when there are four or more Sunday 2pm kick-offs they’ll offer a new MultiView programme to follow all matches in one places.

It means 80 per cent of the live televised games will be on Sky, the other 20 per cent on TNT. Sky’s previous deal allowed them to show 128 matches live so the new season’s changes are significant.

The new contract, which starts in August, gives Sky all first-pick matches and means they retain their Friday and Monday night 8pm games, Saturday 5.30pm and the big Super Sunday 4.30pm and 2pm matches.

In addition to the rescheduled Sunday 2pm matches, they’ve added three midweek rounds, some Boxing Day games.

And for the first time all TEN final day games will be shown live on Sky Sports at the same time.

TNT Sports has retained its Saturday 12.30pm games and will show a total of 52 matches a season including some midweek rounds.

Some fans had been concerned it will mean fixtures moved to accommodate TV games, but in reality while there will be some extra Monday and Friday TV games, the majority of the extra games being televised are either midweek, bank holiday or the games displaced to Sunday due to European commitments.

Match of the Day is secure as the home of FREE-TO-AIR highlights with the BBC retaining that package as well as adding extra digital rights for its online platforms. This will mean mini-highlights packages will be available from 8pm on a Saturday night on BBC iPlayer for the first time – SEE MORE

The record-breaking deal is worth £6.7billion and has been described by the Premier League as the “largest sports media rights deal ever concluded in the UK”.

Amazon Prime Video – which has been showing two entire fixture rounds of 20 games a season – has lost rights to all its games.

As well as more live games this season, the Premier League has agreed to some other changes including substitutes being interviewed by Sky and TNT after they’ve come off, camera operators allowed to enter the field of play after goals have been scored to film celebrations close-up and dressing room cameras.
