November 12, 2018 15.44 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Sky has added more rights to its already extensive collection of packages to the English Premier League.

From the 2019-20 season Sky has added in-game goals and clips for mobile devices from Sky Sports live matches and all other games not televised live plus extended highlights and On Demand through Game of the Day and Match Choice.

Sky already has rights to 128 exclusively live Premier League matches each season.

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.

The remaining Saturday 3pm kick-offs are excluded from the deal.

Richard Scudamore, Premier League Executive Chairman said: “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.”

Sky Sports’ Premier League coverage has seen a 12% increase year-on-year.
