Sky Sports confirms increase in Premier League coverage in 2025
Sky Sports is expanding its Premier League coverage by 70% from the 2025/26 season.
Following a newly-secured four-year deal, the company announced this week that customers will be able to enjoy up to 100 more matches each season, with at least four being beamed through their television every week.
This package offers 215 live games throughout each season until the last day in May 2029, with flagship programme Super Sunday remaining a jewel in the Sky Sports crown. For the first time ever, too, the service is airing multiple live games on a number of weekends at Sunday 2pm, while Sky Sports will also broadcast all 10 matches on the final day of each season.
