BBC extends Premier League radio rights deal

April 5, 2019 - Staff@seenituk

The BBC has extended its Premier League radio rights for a further three seasons, having secured four of the seven packages on offer.

The new contract means Radio 5 Live will have around 140 games per season and will be the only place to listen to Premier League football on a Sunday with games at 2pm and 4.30pm.

In addition, the station will have first pick on Saturday at 3pm, along with a raft of games which will be played on Friday, Saturday and Monday evening.

Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport, said: “This is excellent news for the BBC, in an increasingly competitive radio marketplace.

“Live radio coverage of the Premier League is a key element of the BBC’s audience offer for football fans. The quality of our production, commentary, analysis and presentation is unrivalled and it’s something we are immensely proud of.”
