The Premier League has ruled out scrapping the 3pm blackout which prevents football fans in the United Kingdom watching Saturday afternoon games live on television.
The English Football League are ready to ditch the 3pm rule as they prepare to negotiate their next TV rights deal from the 2024-25 season onwards.
But Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has ruled out any change to the status quo when it comes to England’s top-flight.
‘We’ve been proponents of Article 48 for the entire period of the Premier League and I don’t see that changing in the near term,’ Masters said.
