A brave new world? Premier League are 'discussing options to DITCH Sky Sports and BT Sport in future and show matches on their OWN platform'... as league bosses look into broadcast landscape for future rights deals

Premier League bosses are reportedly 'discussing' future options to move away from Sky Sports and BT Sport in a bid to 'cut out the middle man'.

According to The Mirror, it seems 'likely that there will be just one more multi partner deal' before the Premier League take things in-house and run broadcasting operations themselves.

That will be a massive blow for Sky Sports, who have operated as the main broadcaster for the league's football coverage since the Comcast-owned television giant joined forces with the league after its inception in 1992.

In fact, Sky have played a large part of the success of the English top-flight, with other agencies like BT Sport and Amazon Prime Sport also showing matches in recent years.
