The Premier League has signed off on a new £6.7 billion domestic TV deal with Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
The deal will enable football fans in the UK to watch up to 270 live games a season, more than ever before.
Sky Sports have been awarded four of the five live rights packages, with TNT Sports taking on the remaining one. BBC Sport have retained the free-to-air highlights package.
The new agreement will take effect from the start of the 2025-26 season and last for four years.

It will ensure that Sky Sports broadcast a minimum of 215 live matches a season, with TNT Sports responsible for 52.
Amazon, which currently shows 20 matches a season as part of the current deal, has failed to secure any rights in the latest agreement.
For the first time in the UK, all matches taking place outside of the Saturday 3pm blackout, including those moved to Sunday 2pm because of club participation in European competitions, will be broadcast live.
