English football is set for a shift to pay-per-view television after the Premier League called a halt to its current broadcast arrangements.
Since the Premier League emerged from lockdown, every game has been available to view live, without additional charges being imposed by broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport.
However, that practice has been shelved by the Premier League and only half of all matches will initially be available for the standard subscription price of those services, with all other games costing the consumer an extra fee.

A £14.95 price tag will apply to each game, and The Times reported that profits will go to clubs once the broadcasters have covered their costs.
