Sky Sports Managing Director Barney Francis said “The Premier League continues to be a captivating competition that we all love, so we’re delighted to add the final pieces of the puzzle from next season so that fans can continue to follow the whole story with Sky Sports.

“Mobile clips and On Demand highlights are a really important element of what we offer, when combined with the 128 live games, it means for a Sky Sports customer they’ve got the Premier League totally covered.”

Richard Scudamore, Premier League Executive Chairman said:“Sky Sports provides brilliant Premier League content for fans of our clubs and we are very pleased they have chosen to invest in these rights.

“Viewers increasingly want more choice over how and when they consume our competition and Sky’s ability to complement these digital clip and on-demand rights with their extensive live-match coverage is great news for fans.”
