The latest auction of Premier League broadcasting rights in The UK is about to start yet again.
Following an agreement in 2015 the rights are now shared between Sky and BT Sport in a staggering £5.1bn deal.
The amount paid has risen hugely after over the years since the Premier League started in 1992, with Sky TV having a monopoly on the rights for many years. In 1992 they signed a five-year agreement worth £191m. A rise to £670m saw the broadcaster secure another four-year deal in 1997.
The next agreement in 2001 saw the amount go above the billion pound mark for the first time.
