Premier League clubs – How many times each one was broadcast live across 2024/25 season | OneFootball

Following a pub conversation about last season’s Premier League clubs, I had to go and check this out.

We had been debating (arguing!) how many times the respective PL teams had been selected for live TV by Sky Sports, Amazon Prime and TNT Sports.

Sometimes your memory deceives you, but for example, it felt to me like considering how rubbish they were and such low quality football, Manchester United seemed to have been on a ridiculous number of times during the 2024/25 season.

In comparison, other Premier League clubs who were playing great football, getting shown far less than the quality of their play deserved.

So was it just my imagination, or were the broadcasters really pandering to a daft extent to the glory hunter Man U fanbase?

More importantly, where did Newcastle United fit amongst all of this?

Number of times across the 2024/25 season that each of the Premier League clubs were chosen for live UK broadcast (by Sky Sports, Amazon,, TNT Sports):

27 Aston Villa

26 Chelsea

25 Newcastle United, Man City

24 Tottenham

22 Forest

18 West Ham, Palace

17 Bournemouth

16 Everton, Brighton

15 Brentford, Wolves

14 Leicester, Fulham

11 Southampton

10 Ipswich

My memory didn’t deceive me, Man U shown 28 times, despite finishing 15th!

Brighton playing good to watch football only 16 times, Bournemouth playing even better football arguably, only 17 times.

Newcastle United joint sixth highest with Man City, selected 25 times.

If it hadn’t been for the pathetic decision by Sky Sports to show the meaningless Liverpool v Palace match ahead of key Champions League qualifying clash of Newcastle United (v Everton) on the final day, United would have been joint fifth highest with Chelsea, whilst at the same time Liverpool would have been selected exactly the same number of times as runners-up Arsenal, despite easily winning the league.
