The SPFL has signed an improved deal with Premier Sports to extend its Scottish League Cup coverage and title sponsorship until summer 2031.
The league and broadcaster have agreed a four-year extension to the deal, covering broadcast rights and title sponsorship for the cup competition, which kicks off this Friday.
Premier Sports has also agreed a deal to broadcast matches from the KDM Evolution Trophy for the first time. The former Scottish Challenge Cup is moving to a Champions League-style format for its first round with 30 teams participating.
Neil Doncaster, SPFL group chief executive, said: “We place great value on our long-standing partnership with Premier Sports and it’s brilliant news that we’ve agreed a major extension for the Premier Sports Cup for a further four years.
“Premier Sports continue to be a fantastic supporter of our game, with their high-quality coverage of SPFL matches, and their ongoing commitment is a real boost for Scottish football. We look forward to working together to build on the success of the Premier Sports Cup in the seasons ahead.
Premier Sports will again stream live 25 group stage matches from the Premier Sports Cup, alongside five group stage live TV broadcasts and live coverage of the latter stages of the competition.
The new deal comes just weeks after it was announced the SPFL has also agreed changes to its long-term broadcast deals with Premier Sports and Sky Sports to allow two post-split, bottom six matches to be shown live on Premier Sports from season 2025/26.
