UK pay-television broadcaster Sky has extended a rights deal for near-live extended highlights of football’s English Premier League.
The agreement will run for three years, from 2016-17 to 2018-19.
Under the deal, Sky will be able to show extended highlights of all 212 Premier League matches that are not broadcast live on television and, for the first time, fans will also be able to watch these highlights on demand.
From next season, the new deal coincides with newly-added mobile clips from all 380 Premier League matches, as well as live rights to 126 games.
“We are giving fans more ways to watch extended highlights, with the content now available on demand in the individual club section so fans can catch up on the action when they want,” Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said.
