The UK football broadcast landscape redrew materially for the 2025-2029 rights cycle. Sky Sports’s Premier League allocation jumped from 128 matches to 215. Amazon Prime Video’s Premier League midweek round, a fixture of the previous cycle, ended in 2025. TNT Sports retained its 52-match allocation and remains the primary UK home for UEFA competitions.
The 2025-26 UK broadcaster map
Sky Sports is the dominant Premier League carrier under the new cycle. The network holds 215 matches per season (up from 128 under the 2019-2025 deal), distributed across Sky Sports Premier League (channel 401), Sky Sports Main Event (215), and the streaming Now TV equivalents. Sky also broadcasts the EFL Championship under a separate deal.
TNT Sports holds the remaining 52 Premier League matches per season under the 2025-2029 cycle, typically built around the Saturday 17:30 kickoff window. TNT also carries the UEFA Champions League (sharing the Tuesday night slate with Amazon Prime Video) and the full Europa League and Conference League calendars.
Amazon Prime Video no longer carries Premier League football. The two midweek rounds Amazon held under the old deal (typically December and late April) ended with the 2024-25 season. Amazon does retain a small Tuesday Champions League window each week.
BBC Sport and ITV share the FA Cup live broadcast and the England men’s and women’s national team fixtures. BBC also runs a new midweek Champions League highlights show on BBC One, the first time UCL has appeared on UK free-to-air in over a decade.
Premier Sports carries LaLiga (Spanish top flight) and a slate of FA Cup ties sub-licensed from TNT. The service is sold standalone at £14.99 per month.
How to plan a weekend
A standard Premier League weekend in 2025-26 runs:
- Friday 20:00 UK: TNT Sports
- Saturday 12:30 UK: TNT Sports
- Saturday 15:00 UK: blacked out from live UK broadcast under the longstanding 3pm Saturday rule
- Saturday 17:30 UK: Sky Sports
- Sunday 14:00 and 16:30 UK: Sky Sports
- Monday 20:00 UK: Sky Sports
Midweek rounds add 19:30 and 20:00 UK windows split across Sky and TNT.
With the 15:00 Saturday blackout still in force, the maximum live-broadcast Premier League calendar in the UK is roughly 270 of the 380 league matches per season.
A practical UK viewing plan
For full UK football coverage, the minimum subscription footprint is:
- Sky Sports (via Now TV Sport at £30/mo or full Sky bundle at £40+/mo)
- TNT Sports (via Discovery+ Premium at £30.99/mo or BT Mobile bundling)
- Amazon Prime (£8.99/mo) for the Tuesday Champions League windows
That covers every available live Premier League match, every Champions League match, every Europa League and Conference League match, and the BBC and ITV FA Cup and England slate (which is free-to-air).
