Sky Sports Secures Premier League Clip Rights
Sky Sports has secured the exclusive rights to show clips from every Premier League game across its digital platforms from the start of the 2016/17 season.
The clips will include in-match content and highlights.
The pay-TV broadcaster picked up the rights, previously held exclusively by News UK, in a three-year deal and will provide video clips from each game online and on mobile.
As part of the deal, Sky Sports has entered into a distribution partnership with News UK that will see clips also being made available across The Sunday Times, The Times and The Sun digital services.
Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: “Sky Sports is the home of the Premier League and this will allow us to offer our customers even more content across mobile and online.
“The way people watch sport is changing rapidly and this agreement ensures Sky Sports will continue to offer the best coverage across TV, mobile, online and social media. However they choose to watch, our customers will have all the defining moments from the Premier League at their fingertips for years to come.”
Mike Darcey, CEO, News UK, added: “We are delighted to be teaming up with Sky Sports for this exclusive distribution partnership, which gives us the green light to continue bringing Premier League clips to our engaged customers for another three years.
“It was a competitive process with lots of interest from across the industry, which is testament to the innovation displayed by, and intuitive marketing campaigns created by, teams at News UK since first winning the rights in 2013. This new partnership with Sky Sports will undoubtedly bring a better product to market for our customers.”
