Sky Sports and TNT Sports show live Premier League matches in the UK for 2025/26 to 2028/29. Highlights are on BBC Sport, and the UK audio rights are with BBC and talkSPORT.
UK and Republic of Ireland rights
The current official cycle separates live TV, highlights, and audio in the UK. The Republic of Ireland has a different live TV line-up, with one extra broadcaster on the official list.
| Territory and rights | Broadcaster | Seasons covered |
|---|---|---|
| UK live TV | Sky Sports, TNT Sports | 2025/26 to 2028/29 |
| UK highlights | BBC Sport | 2025/26 to 2028/29 |
| UK audio | BBC, talkSPORT | 2025/26 to 2028/29 |
| Republic of Ireland live TV | Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Premier Sports | 2025/26 to 2028/29 |
For the UK, the live TV answer is straightforward: the official rights list names Sky Sports and TNT Sports. BBC Sport sits in the highlights slot, so it is part of the coverage picture without being one of the UK live TV holders in this cycle.
What each rights category covers
The official Premier League listings do not treat all coverage as one bundle. Live TV, highlights, and audio are listed as separate rights, which is why different names appear depending on how you follow the competition.
- Live TV: Sky Sports, TNT Sports
- Highlights: BBC Sport
- Audio: BBC, talkSPORT
That distinction matters when checking whether BBC “shows” the Premier League in the UK. It does, but in this cycle the official answer is highlights and audio rather than UK live TV.
How this compares with the previous UK cycle
Putting the previous UK deal next to the current one shows what changed and what stayed in place. The official pages also use different brand names at different points, which matters when checking older seasons.
| Cycle | UK live TV | UK highlights | UK audio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022/23 to 2024/25 | Sky Sports, TNT Sport, Prime Video | BBC | BBC, talkSPORT |
| 2025/26 to 2028/29 | Sky Sports, TNT Sports | BBC Sport | BBC, talkSPORT |
The main live TV difference is the absence of Prime Video from the newer UK list. In the other categories, the same organisations remain present, even though the official wording appears as BBC on one page and BBC Sport on another.
What the official 2024/25 FAQ says
For 2024/25 on its own, the Premier League's official UK rights FAQ named Sky Sports, BT Sport, and Amazon Prime Video as the live TV broadcasters. It also named BBC Sport as the free-to-air highlights partner and BBC Radio 5 Live plus talkSPORT for UK audio.
That is why older season checks can look different from the current rights cycle. BT Sport appears in the official FAQ for 2024/25, while the later cycle uses TNT Sports on the live TV list.
FAQ
Does Sky Sports have Premier League rights?
Yes. The official lists name Sky Sports as a live TV broadcaster in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland.
Its place in the current cycle is specifically under live TV rights, not UK highlights or UK audio.
Does TNT Sports show the Premier League?
Yes. The official current-cycle list includes TNT Sports for UK live TV, and it also appears on the Republic of Ireland live TV list.
If you are checking the previous UK cycle, the official page uses TNT Sport in the broadcaster list. The naming difference comes from the source and season.
What radio station has Premier League coverage in the UK?
The official UK audio rights holders are BBC and talkSPORT. Those are the names listed for audio in the current cycle.
For 2024/25, the official FAQ gives a more specific BBC service name by listing BBC Radio 5 Live alongside talkSPORT.
Does BBC show the Premier League?
Yes, in the UK rights set it does through highlights and audio rather than live TV in the current cycle. The official list names BBC Sport for highlights and BBC for audio.
On the 2024/25 FAQ page, BBC Sport is the free-to-air highlights partner and BBC Radio 5 Live is named for audio. The exact BBC label depends on the format being described.
Does BT Sport still have Premier League rights?
For 2024/25, the official FAQ listed BT Sport as one of the UK live TV broadcasters. For 2025/26 to 2028/29, the official UK live TV list uses TNT Sports.
The answer changes by season, so the rights page you check matters.
