PREMIER SPORTS TO SHOW 20 SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP GAMES PER SEASON

Posted on by Leave a comment

PREMIER SPORTS has secured the rights to show 20 live Scottish Premiership games a season.

Added to the 60 Sky Sports can show as part of its deal with the SPFL, it means 80 games will be shown from the Scottish top division next season, the most ever broadcast in the league’s history.

Premier Sports’ deal runs for five years from the new season and the SPFL say the broadcaster won the rights as part of a “competitive bidding process which attracted multiple bidders.”

Sky’s contract with the SPFL still gives it the rights to all the Old Firm games, but Premier securing the extra Premiership matches means it can sell itself as an attractive proposition for Scottish football fans also holding the rights to the SPFL’s League Cup – which is branded the Premier Sports Cup – and the Scottish Cup (see below).

SCOTTISH CUP DEAL EXTENDED WITH PREMIER SPORTS & BBC SCOTLAND

BBC Scotland and Premier Sports will remain the home of Scottish Cup TV games after agreeing a new five-year contract with the Scottish FA.

It’s an extension of the current arrangements with Premier and BBC again sharing the rights, although Premier will show an extra game from the fourth and fifth rounds of the competition.

The final is FREE-TO-AIR on BBC Scotland as well as being on Premier Sports. Premier show both semi-finals, although one of them is also screened on BBC Scotland.
