So far this season, one game is broadcast live on either Monday or Friday night, with an early kick-off and late kick-off often sandwiching the 3pm games on Saturday, while two fixtures are shown live on Sunday. But according to The Telegraph that will change.
It is claimed that 25% more Premier League games will be shown live. That will increase the number to four games which will reportedly be available to watch on Sundays, one of which will be a 6:30pm kick-off.
In women’s football, the Saturday 3pm blackout for women’s football is reportedly set to be dropped in an attempt to boost viewing figures. A meeting is claimed to have taken place in London on Monday to advance discussions as they hope to create the first billion pound women’s football league.
