Premier League set for Friday night football in further break from tradition as bumper TV deal of 168 games per season goes on sale

•     New Premier League TV licensing deal tendered to interested parties
•     From 2016, 168 games will be shown live each season
•     Highest bidder will only be allowed to buy at most five of seven packages
•     Free-to-air highlights package also up for new deal

Friday night football is coming to the Premier League, Sportsmail can reveal, with the league's governing body making the shock decision to put Friday matches up for sale for the first time.

Tender documents for live UK rights to England's top division have been made available to interested broadcasters from Friday -

firing the starting pistol on what is sure to be a hotly contested and massively lucrative battle for rights between 2016 and 2019.

The announcement also means that more Premier League football will be shown live on TV than ever before from the 2016/17 season.

From August 2016 broadcasters will be able to show 168 games live, a huge 44% of all top flight matches throughout the season.

The announcement is an increase from the current deal, which allows 154 matches per year, and ran from the beginning of last season.

Under the new offer no single broadcaster will be able to show more than 126 of the live matches, with at least two of the seven packages of games to be shown on other channels.

The deals are expected to be completed in February, but the Invitation to Tender (ITT) opens the way for broadcasters to begin planning their bids.

The last deal, worth a total of £3.018bn was split between Sky, who won five packages - making up 116 games - and BT, who bought the remaining two packages totalling 38 games.

Sky paid £2.28bn for their current 116 games per season, or in other words, got 348 games at £6,551,724 each.

BT paid £738m for their current 38 games per season, or in other words, got 114 games at £6,473,684 each.

The billion-dollar question is how much they will both be prepared to spend to keep or increase the games they have in 2016-19.

There will still be a restriction on showing any live football beginning at 3.00pm on a Saturday afternoon, but the increase in available matches means there will be a decline in the number of games

The Premier League have also opened the market for it's free-to-air highlights package, currently held by the BBC in the form of Match of the Day.

It is thought that ITV, who held the rights between 2001 and 2004 with their show The Premiership, are considering bidding for the contract.

Analysis: Richard Conway


This invitation to tender fires the starting pistol on the race to secure some of the most highly prized TV rights in sport. The last deal secured a blockbusting £3bn from Sky and BT, along with a further £2bn from overseas broadcasters.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore will want to sustain those phenomenal numbers.

To help achieve that it's understood broadcasters will be offered a small number of games on Friday nights.

The football calendar only permits a handful of matches on Fridays but it's thought the opening weekend of the 2016 season, when the new deal begins, could be one of them.

The move is likely to come as a disappointment to football traditionalists and fan groups who feel timeslots are not picked with those who attend games in mind.

The small number of Friday night games would be drawn from one of the existing rights packages.

星期五都踢埋

如果純我自己角度，星期五晚捱夜一定好過星期一捱，但睇落佢又唔係完全取代MNF，咁其實都唔係話好有效

球會角度，如果係大會/之後有歐洲賽踢，可以提早星期五打係好事，但細會黎講可能更少人入場?

當地球迷角度，打破左傳統六日入場個時間表，唔知好定唔好了

其實擺係星期五的場次應該唔多，影響又未必好大既。。。我自己就冇咩所謂，有得睇就得

P.S 如果星期五有得踢YFF要早d執好陣

Premier League TV rights: Sky and BT pay £5.1bn for live games

Sky and BT Sport will pay the Premier League £5.136bn to share live TV rights for three seasons from 2016-17.

Sky have been granted five of the seven match packages on offer, including the first Friday evening games and both Sunday packages.

Under the contract, which represents a 70% increase on Sky and BT's current deal, 168 games will be shown live, at an average cost of £10.2m each.

Premier League boss Richard Scudamore refused to give details of payments.

He also said he had given no thought to the overseas rights for the same period, which have not been sold.

"Burnley are bigger economically than Ajax, which says a lot about how our league is made up," said Scudamore.

"Part of our product is to keep the stadia full.

"Clubs will have to address ticket prices to make sure the stadia remain full. Maybe there will be increased hard work for the clubs."
