The 2013/14 Premier League season has already been tipped as potentially the most exciting of recent years – with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all changing managers this summer. Many feel it’s going to be a three-horse race to the title, and Sky Sports have done all they can to give it the coverage it deserves.
David Moyes’ first game as manager of the Premier League holders Manchester United will be shown on Sky, Manuel Pellegrini’s first match as manager of the Premier League and FA Cup runners-up Manchester City will be shown, and Jose Mourinho’s first game back at Chelsea will also be shown exclusively on Sky Sports.
There will be 43 live Premier League matches by 1 December (three matches every week). All 20 sides in the Premier League will be shown by the 6th of October, and at least twice by the 1st of December.
Every match between last season’s top four Premier League sides will be featured – including 24 of 32 live matches involving top four sides. Nine derbies including Manchester, North-London, North-East and South-Wales.
All three promoted Premier League sides to be shown by the end of August, and a match from all 20 Premier League grounds at least once during the season.
Sky Sports is still the only place to watch live Premier League action across Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Below is the fixture list of game Sky Sports will cover up to the 1st of December.
