List of Premier League broadcasters
This is a list of television broadcasters which provide coverage of the Premier League, English football's top-level competition, which is the most watched league in the world.[1] The main broadcasters in the United Kingdom are Sky Sports, who broadcasts 128 of the 200 televised games in the UK, BT Sport (52) and Amazon Prime Video (20).[2] The BBC shows weekly highlights of the Premier League on its Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2 programmes on Saturdays and Sundays.[3]
The 200 UK televised games are also broadcast across the world; the remaining 180 matches that aren't broadcast live in the UK are all broadcast elsewhere around the world outside Europe (in Europe, 233 matches are broadcast). English-speaking countries (excluding the UK) are able to carry what is known as the 'International feed' or 'World feed' audio; this is full match commentary provided by the Premier League. In Asia, and select other countries around the world, there is also a fully produced studio broadcast called Premier League Productions where pre, half time and post-match analysis is offered. This is currently hosted by Steve Bower and Manish Bhasin.
The 3:00pm (UK time) Saturday kick-offs are not allowed to be shown live in the UK due to the hours of 2.45pm - 5.15pm being 'blocked broadcasting hours',[4] as requested by the FA and enforced by UEFA. In Ireland, a different situation applies; a package of only one Saturday 3:00pm kick off each week (along with one game on the final Sunday) is sold as an addition to the UK live rights packages, this package is currently held by Premier Sports. While there is no rule prohibiting the screening of the other 3:00pm games in Ireland, the Premier League does not make the rights to these games available to Irish broadcasters, due to the overlap in reception that is possible in Northern Ireland and mainland Great Britain.

*40 live matches a season were shown on the Sky-owned pay-per-view service PremPlus between 2001 and 2004; this figure increased to 50 per season between 2004 and 2007.
**Due to the postponement of the Premier League from the COVID-19 pandemic, all rescheduled games were shown live through the League's existing broadcasting partners.[6]
***25 live games were shown on Sky's free-to-air channel Pick.[6]
****For Fixtures so far broadcast across the 2020-21 season and so far scheduled until March 1st 2021 (the confirmed numbers in the chart, are correct as of January 30th 2021), at least an additional 48 games will broadcast across the season. This follows an agreement with the League's UK broadcasters during the end of August and early September 2020, meaning that all fixtures that were not originally set for broadcast, have and will be shown across the 4 Broadcasters - due to the league being played behind closed doors, or with very limited crowds prior to England's 3rd National Lockdown in January 2021. The BBC has shown 3 games and will show at least a further 2, which was not originally planned for in the tender awards.
*****15 additional games, not initially planned for broadcast, up to November 2 were made available on pay-per-view. 9 of these were shown on Sky Sports Box Office and 6 on BT Sport Box Office.
