Premier League considers mid-game interviews as major changes to television coverage proposed | OneFootball

New broadcast obligations would have to be approved by clubs

The Premier League could have mid-game or half-time interviews as part of its broadcast coverage next season.

The concept has been used successfully in other sports, including cricket and rugby, and there is a possibility it becomes part of top-flight football in England, too.

At present, clubs conducted pre and post-match interviews as part of their broadcast obligations, but that could now be increased.

Any changes to broadcast coverage, however, would need to be approved by clubs ahead of the next television rights cycle - which begins next season.

The Premier League agreed a new deal with Sky and TNT Sports for their domestic tv rights back in December 2023.

The deal, which runs for four year from the 2025-26 season, was reportedly worth £6.7billion.

As part of the package, for the first time in history, all matches outside of the Saturday 3pm kick-offs will be broadcast live in the UK.
