Increase in live TV games
The 2025/26 season marks the beginning of a new four-year UK broadcast rights cycle – with Sky Sports and TNT Sports. For the first time all matches taking place outside of the Saturday 15:00 closed period – a minimum of 267 games – will be broadcast live.
The increase in matches broadcast in the UK comes predominately from Sky Sports showing the fixtures displaced to the Sunday 14:00 slot due to clubs’ participation in European competitions the previous week. Sky Sports will show a minimum of 215 matches and TNT Sports will cover 52 games.
Fixture change announcement dates
Owing to clubs’ performances in Europe last season, a record nine Premier League teams will play in UEFA competitions in the 2025/26 season and will have an impact on the scheduling of League matches.
There is an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice, after our fixture announcements, should clubs progress to the knockout rounds of these competitions. Supporters are asked to consider this when planning for Premier League fixtures, particularly when their club or opposition is playing in the latter stages of UEFA competitions.
