Premier League | New TV contract brings in record sums

The Premier League has agreed a new TV deal that will bring record sums of money to football clubs in England’s top division.

According to the league, a total of 6.7 billion pounds will flow into the coffers of the 20 Premier League clubs for the allocation of media rights in the 2025/2026 up to and including 2028/2029 seasons, which is the equivalent of around 7.81 billion euros or around 1.95 billion euros per season. It is the highest-paying TV contract ever concluded in Europe. The Premier League had previously earned around 1.83 billion euros per season.

As contractual partners, Sky Sports, TNT Sports and the publicly free-to-air BBC Sport made the new record amount possible with different rights models. The German Football League (DFL) last concluded a TV contract in 2021 that guaranteed it 1.1 billion euros per year.

Premier League boss Richard Masters said in a statement that the result underlined the strength of the Premier League. It is proof that the best football in the world continues to be played there in full stadiums.
