The 20 clubs voted through the proposal at an online Premier League meeting on Thursday and that will now be put forward to TV companies in the next few weeks.
Premier League clubs have given their approval for more top-flight games to be shown live.
âIt could result in dozens more games being broadcast and potentially a whole new package being available in the next TV deal. The 20 clubs voted through the proposal at an online Premier League meeting on Thursday and that will now be put forward to TV companies in the next few weeks.
âIt could see a dramatic upturn in the current £5.1billion three year deal with the live rights shared between Sky, TNT Sports and Amazon who currently show 200 games each season. The last deal was “rolled over” until 2025 at the same value as the previous agreement for 2019-22 because of the financial impact from Covid.
âClubs can therefore expect a big increase especially with more games likely to be made available in the tender document made available for broadcasters. It might also see a new broadcaster come into the market, although it seems certain that Amazon and TNT Sports will want to expand the number of games they currently show. Amazon have two live rounds, TNT Sports – formerly BT Sport – show 52 games while Sky have the lion’s share with 128.
