Premier League TV Partners
The Premier League obviously has numerous broadcasting partners around the world. From NBC in the United States, to BEIN Sports in the middle east and North Africa, all the way to Super Sport in South Africa, just to name a few.
But on the English shores, the EPL has four main TV partners who share the broadcasted matches between themselves. It’s worth noting that according to the current deal, only 200 out of the 380 fixtures are aired on television every season, as the rest of the matches are played on Saturday afternoon’s “rush hour”, and the laws in the United Kingdom prevent any broadcaster from displaying these encounters, which is supposed to encourage the fans to attend a match on a nearby stadium rather than watching it from the comfort of their couches.
As we mentioned above, the Premier League’s three local major broadcasting partners are Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime. Additionally, the state-owned BBC is authorized to display all highlights and replays from every Premier League match. The table below showcases how many fixtures are currently broadcasted by every domestic partner, plus how much each of them pays in return,
