Premier Sports has announced plans to show an extra 25 group stage matches from the Scottish League Cup (Premier Sports Cup) from the start of the new season.
The extra games will be streamed live as part of the £15.99 per month Premier Sports streaming service, which costs £15.99 per month. It’s part of a new three-year agreement between the broadcaster and the SPFL.
The matches are in addition to the previously announced five live TV broadcasts from the group stages, bringing the total number of first round group stage live games up to 30. This includes every game involving teams from the Scottish Premiership.
Sky customers with a Premier Sports subscription receive complimentary access to the Premier Sports streaming service.
For those fans only wanting to watch certain matches from the group stages, there will also be a Premier Sports matchday pass at £9.99, giving 48hr access to watch the extra group stage matches. The original five games picked for TV broadcast are not included in the matchday pass.
Those original five games picked for TV broadcast will continue to be broadcast on Premier Sports 1 via Sky, Virgin, Amazon Prime and the Premier Sports streaming service. Premier Sports will also broadcast all games live from the second round onwards, either streamed or televised, subject to Saturday 3pm blackout rules.
