The Premier League has confirmed its status as the richest league in the world by agreeing a new domestic TV deal with Sky Sports and TNT Sports worth £6.7billion over four years between 2025 and 2029.

In an outcome predicted by Mail Sport when the auction began last month Sky are the biggest winners having bought the rights to 215 matches-per-season, while TNT have held on to the primetime Saturday lunchtime slot which will give them 52 live games each year. 

Mail Sport also revealed the other main elements of the new domestic rights deal earlier this year, which will see all Premier League matches that do not kick off at 3pm on Saturdays televised live from 2025 and the BBC continue to show highlights through Match of the Day for another four years.

The Premier League are thrilled with the new deal having secured a four per cent increase in the value of their live rights, which no other European competition has achieved, despite limited competition. 

Amazon have lost their Premier League matches after six years of providing live coverage and there was only a modest bid from ambitious streaming platform DAZN, and none at all from Apple TV.
