How much for English Premier League matches? Football’s new TV deal jumps to record high
- US$8.45 billion domestic TV deal, starting in 2025, comfortably exceeds the value of the existing contract
- Agreement will pump even more eye-watering sums into the English game and is touted as the ‘largest sports media rights deals ever concluded in the UK’
The English Premier League announced it has agreed a record £6.7 billion (US$8.48 billion) domestic television rights deal for a four-year period starting from the 2025-26 season.
The current deal is reported to be worth around £5 billion over a three-year cycle and covers 200 matches per season.
The English top flight hailed the agreements shared between different broadcasters as the “largest sports media rights deals ever concluded in the UK”.
Sky Sports and TNT Sports have retained their rights to show live matches, with Amazon, currently showing 20 matches per season, not part of the next cycle.
Sky will screen a minimum of 215 live matches per season while TNT will broadcast 52. BBC Sport will continue to broadcast highlights via its Match of the Day programme.
