August and September Sky & BT live Premier League TV games confirmed



Sky Sports and BT Sport have confirmed the first set of live Premier League games to be shown from the new season.

The matches are the first in the mega £5billion three-year deal with the League and the broadcasters.

More live TV games will be shown than ever before with Sky screening 126 each season and BT 42.
Highlights will continue to be shown on the BBC on Match of the Day.

Key changes for the new season include:
> live Premier League games on Sky on Friday nights (ten Friday night matches will be aired each season).
> BT Sport take over screening Saturday tea-time games (5.30pm kick-offs) while Sky will go back to having Saturday lunch-times (now with an earlier 12.30pm kick-off).
> Sky have the most first picks under the new contract - 26 to BT's 12.
> David Jones (currently Sky's Saturday Premier League presenter) is expected to take over hosting Monday Night Football after Ed Chamberlin's departure to front ITV's racing coverage. Jones' new role has yet to be confirmed, nor has the details of who will host Friday nights and Super Sunday.
There's speculation Gary Neville will also return.
> Sky subscribers will for the first time be able to see all Saturday's Premier League goals on their mobiles from 5.15pm.
