Sky Sports announced a major expansion of its live football coverage for the 2025/26 season. The network will broadcast over 1,000 games from a total of 1,891 matches across the EFL, Carabao Cup, and Vertu Trophy.
This season, Sky Sports’ Premier League coverage will increase significantly. They will exclusively air at least 215 games, up from 128 last season. This means that around 80 percent of all televised Premier League games will be on Sky Sports.
Several key matches are scheduled in the upcoming weeks. On April 18, fans can watch Derby vs Oxford, Millwall vs QPR, and Portsmouth vs Leicester. The following day, Man City takes on Arsenal at 4.30pm.
Brighton will face Chelsea on April 21 at 8pm, while Arsenal hosts Newcastle on April 25 at 5.30pm. That same day, Celtic will play Falkirk at the same time.
This expansion reflects Sky Sports’ commitment to providing extensive coverage of live football. The network aims to enhance viewer engagement by offering more match options than ever before.
Yet, details remain unconfirmed regarding additional match highlights or special programming surrounding these events. Fans are eager to see how these changes will impact their viewing experience.
The increase in matches comes as part of a broader trend in sports broadcasting. Networks are competing fiercely to secure exclusive rights to popular leagues and tournaments.
As the season progresses, viewers can expect a packed schedule of live football action across various platforms. This move by Sky Sports may set a precedent for future broadcasting strategies in sports.
