The Premier League is set to significantly increase the number of live matches available to watch on TV in the UK from the 2025/26 season, but how much is the deal worth?
How Much Is The New Premier League TV Deal Going To Be Worth?
On Wednesday, the English top-flight confirmed that around 270 games a season will be broadcast live as part of a new deal with more than two-thirds of the 380 matches each season available for consumers.
The Premier League have began the process of selling rights for a four-year period starting in 2025, a change from previous deals which have been for three years.
The current deal is worth an estimated £4.8 billion and whilst there is no confirmation of what the new one values at, we can expect it to be at least £6.5 billion.
Premier League expect to have 2025-26-2028-29 TV packages agreed by end of year. Sat 3pm ‘closed period’ retained. All other games live, inc all Sun 2pm. 5 packages, all linked to current slot (Sat 1230 + 1730, Sun 1400 + 1630 and Mon/Fri). All packages bigger than 38 matchrounds

The 3pm blackout will remain in place but every other match will be live on TV, including all ten matches on the final day of the season. 70 more games will be shown across five packages instead of seven.
Currently, Sky have four packages containing 128 matches a season, whilst TNT have two with 52 matches and Amazon has one with 20 matches. The tender process will be completed by the end of 2023.
All 2pm Sunday games will be broadcast, the slot largely used for sides who have fixtures rearranged due to involvement in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League.
