The Premier League’s foreign TV income is set for a record high and is close to outstripping domestic TV cash for the first time, despite predictions that values had peaked.
Sky Sports, BT, Amazon and the BBC will pay a combined £5billion for their domestic rights — live and highlights included — in the three-season period from next summer.
But with deals already concluded to show games in more than 100 overseas territories and fierce bidding wars in other key foreign markets, the League’s 20 clubs will be splitting more than £10bn in total broadcasting revenues in the 2022-25 period, up from £9bn in 2019-2022.
