The contract is valid for four years: from 2025 to 2029. According to the source, Sky Sports has acquired the rights to show the majority of Premier League matches - 215 games per season. TNT Sports retained rights to broadcast Saturday afternoon matches. Thus, the broadcaster will be able to show 52 meetings annually.
