Sky Sports has unveiled a major overhaul of its Premier League broadcasting schedule, introducing new kick-off times and expanded coverage options for the upcoming season.
What's Changing in Sky's Premier League Coverage?
The broadcaster is shaking up its traditional Saturday schedule, with new early evening matches joining the existing lunchtime and teatime slots. This means fans can now enjoy three back-to-back Premier League games every Saturday.
Key Changes for the 2023/24 Season:
- New 5:30pm Saturday kick-off slot added
- Enhanced pre-match and post-match analysis
- More matches available via streaming services
- Expanded highlights packages
The changes come as part of Sky's £4.2 billion deal for Premier League rights, which runs until 2025. A Sky Sports spokesperson said: "We're constantly looking for ways to improve the viewing experience for football fans."
What This Means for Viewers
Subscribers will now have access to more live football than ever before, with the new schedule offering greater flexibility for fans to watch their favourite teams. The broadcaster has also promised improved picture quality and more in-depth analysis from its team of pundits.
With these changes, Sky Sports aims to cement its position as the go-to destination for Premier League coverage in the UK, offering unparalleled access to one of the world's most popular football competitions.
