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.
AMAZON Prime Video will show some live Champions League games while the BBC will screen free-to-air highlights as part of a new UK TV deal confirmed by UEFA.
TNT Sports – formerly BT – has retained the bulk of Champions League live rights with Amazon showing the first pick Tuesday night game from each round of fixtures – 17 games in all when the new expanded format for the competition kicks in from the 2024-25 season.
The BBC will screen a Wednesday night highlights programme through the deal and will also have highlights of the final.
Apart from the Amazon Tuesday night first pick game, TNT has bagged all other matches as well as the Europa and Europa Conference League competitions.
The BBC’s capture of highlights will see them return to free-to-air broadcast of the competition for the first time in three years. TNT’s current deal covers live and highlights coverage so their dedicated highlights programme was only available to subscribers, although they did make short video highlights packages of matches available free online and via YouTube. Previously highlights were available on ITV.
Amazon’s only other rights for live football are two entire match days of Premier League football of one midweek match day and the Boxing Day fixtures, but these expire at the end of the news 2024-25 season.
