The English elite division,Premier League, is set to smash its own record domestic television rights deal after making 70 more matches available for broadcast from 2025.
As at now, the Premier League sells 200 matches every season to broadcasters in the UK with a £4.8bn three-year deal in place that runs until the 2024/25 season.
Now, according to reliable sources, the Premier League is inviting offers on a four-year deal lasting till the 2028/29 season.
This is the first Premier League tender process since 2016 as the current deal was rolled over in 2021 for an extra three years due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Five packages containing between 42 and 65 live matches will be available for broadcasters to bid on.
Competition is expected to be fierce with streaming platform DAZN reportedly interested in acquiring rights for the first time.
Premier League clubs are the richest clubs in Europe due to their money-spinning TV rights deals brokered with broadcast agencies.
