The Premier League will make around 270 matches available for live television broadcast as part of a major revamp to the sale of match rights that will impact Manchester United and Manchester City.

Despite calls for the contrary, Premier League teams decided to keep the Saturday 3pom blackout in place, with the significant increase in matches coming from elsewhere. Significantly for both United and City, all Sunday 2pm kick-offs will be shown live on TV.

In recent seasons, multiple matches have kicked off on Sunday afternoon due to teams' midweek European competitions. There has been frustration among fans that only one of those games is shown live on Sky Sports, but that looks set to change.

There has also been an increase in the number of midweek rounds, from four to five, while the usual Saturday 12.30pm and 5.30pm slots will remain in place, as will the Sunday 4pm and Monday or Friday 8pm options. The ITT also confirmed the decision to show all 10 final day matches live on TV simultaneously.

Having always secured deals in a three-year cycle, the Premier League will break tradition by trying to secure four-year terms with broadcasters.
