It’s been in the air for several days across the Channel and it’s about to become official. This Friday, The Mirror reports that England’s top 20 clubs have given their approval during a meeting with Premier League representatives for more matches to be broadcast. If this proposal is approved by the British television companies, a new package should be introduced by 2025.
Currently, Sky Sports, TNT Sports And Amazon broadcast 200 matches each season at the following times: Friday and Monday evening, Saturday noon and afternoon as well as Sunday afternoon. In the event of a shake-up of television coverage of football, a new agreement regarding TV rights for the English Premier League would emerge and changes would be made to the broadcast schedules with more matches offered on Sunday evenings. Despite the strong competition, a new broadcaster could also enter the market. Enough to bring in a nice jackpot for the Premier League.
