The Premier League has been given Government permission to roll over its existing domestic television deal until 2025.
The English top flight announced a three-year extension of its deal with Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and BBC Sport in May, subject to the Government granting an Exclusion Order under the Competition Act.
The order was required because of the private nature of the sale, instead of the usual open-tender process. The league announced on Tuesday that permission for the order had been granted following a consultation period.
The deal, which has a reported value of almost £5billion, includes an extra £100m of funding to the football pyramid for the next four years - the remaining season of the current deal and the three years of the new agreement.
