In a groundbreaking move for football fans across the UK, Sky Sports has announced it will broadcast every single Premier League match live during the 2024-25 season. This unprecedented deal marks the first time a UK broadcaster will air all 380 fixtures, transforming how supporters watch top-flight football.
A New Era for Football Broadcasting
The landmark agreement comes as the Premier League revamps its broadcasting model, moving away from the traditional Saturday 3pm blackout that has been in place for decades. From August 2024, subscribers will have access to:
- All 380 Premier League matches
- Enhanced coverage with multiple camera angles
- In-depth analysis from top pundits
- Interactive features through Sky's digital platforms
What This Means for Fans
Gary Hughes, Sky Sports' Director of Football, stated: "This is a game-changer for football fans. We're proud to bring every moment of Premier League action directly to our subscribers with the highest production values and expert insight."
The comprehensive coverage will be available across:
- Sky Sports Main Event
- Sky Sports Premier League
- Sky Sports Ultra HD
- Streaming via NOW TV
The End of the 3pm Blackout?
This deal effectively ends the long-standing Saturday 3pm broadcast prohibition in England, a rule originally designed to protect lower-league attendances. Football authorities will closely monitor the impact on grassroots football as this new era begins.
With kick-off times spread across weekends and midweek slots, fans can look forward to unprecedented access to their favourite teams and players throughout the entire season.
