Football seven nights a week, as Sky Sports secures all UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League rights


WEBWIRE

Sky has today announced a new four-year partnership with UEFA to exclusively broadcast every match from the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League in the UK from the 2027/28 season.

The deal will see 342 European matches each season added to Sky’s unrivalled line-up, frequently giving customers live football seven days a week during the European season on Sky Sports.

English clubs have enjoyed significant success across both competitions in recent years, winning three titles in the past three years and attracting record audiences, including the most-watched European fixture of last season between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Jonathan Licht, Chief Sports Officer, Sky said: “I’m proud that we’re able to bring European football competitions back to Sky customers. The UEFA Europa League and Conference League have delivered some of the most exciting European stories in recent years, with English clubs consistently performing strongly and lifting trophies.

“This partnership is made possible by the strength of our business model and brand as the home of sport in the UK. Alongside the Premier League, EFL, SPFL, WSL and more, fans will now regularly enjoy domestic or European football every day of the week during the season on Sky Sports.”

Sky is the unrivalled home of football in the UK & Ireland with the games that matter the most to fans, and more games than any other platform. Every season, Sky Sports customers can currently watch at least 215 matches from the Premier League, over 1,000 matches from the EFL, up to 60 games from the SPFL, 118 fixtures from the Women’s Super League, as well as action from Bundesliga.

2025 is set to be another strong year for Sky Sports, as expanded football coverage continues to deliver exceptional growth, with Premier League viewing hours up 20% and the Women’s Super League up 22%. Viewing among women is also at an all-time high, up 14% year-on-year.

The year has been defined by record audiences and landmark sporting moments, including Sky Sports’ most-watched weekend (27–28 September) and Sunday (13 April) ever, alongside record -breaking audiences for the Ryder Cup, The Open Championship, The Masters, the ICC Women’s World Cup, Grand Slam and World Grand Prix darts, and multiple Formula 1 races this season so far. The US Open men’s final also achieved a record viewing peak since tennis returned to Sky Sports in 2023.

Non-Sky subscribers can access Sky Sports, contract-free with streaming service NOW via a Sports Day or Month Membership.

In Italy, Sky has strengthened its partnership with UEFA with exclusive rights for 185 of 203 UEFA Champions League matches and all 342 matches from the Europa League and Conference League.
