Premier League matches ‘to feature never-before-seen segment’ as TV channels look to emulate US broadcasts for new season

Premier League viewers are in for something new when the 2025-26 season gets underway in August.

Liverpool will kick off their top flight title defence in the league opener against Bournemouth on Friday, August 15, with a record number of matches set to be televised over the campaign.

And there will be some significant changes to the coverage with touchline interviews with substituted players set to take place for the first time, according to The Telegraph.

Adopting some elements of American sports broadcasting, cameras will also be allowed on to the pitch to get close-ups of goal celebrations as well as being given access to the changing rooms.

Sky Sports are set to massively increase their number of live match offerings next term, rising from 128 to 215. 

They are understood to have trialled the three new features last season.

There will be certain restrictions with cameras not allowed while the manager is talking to their players. 

They will also only be allowed to enter the field for a matter of seconds following goals and at no other times during the game.

TNT will also retain their package of 52 games with the new Premier League TV rights deal worth a record £6.7billion over the next four seasons.

The deal includes the BBC continuing to show highlights on Match of the Day.

The top flight said the deal, which covers the four years from the 2025-26 season, is the ‘largest sports media rights deal ever concluded in the UK’.

The Saturday 3pm blackout will remain in place, but every 2pm Sunday kick-off will be televised.
