FOX Sports has renewed its Australian broadcast rights to the Barclays Premier League from 2010 to 2013.
It means that for the first time all 380 matches will be available, along with coverage across other new media platforms.
FOX Sports will provide simultaneous broadcast of up to five live games per round through the Sports Active Viewer’s Choice feature, with a selection of matches also available in High Definition.
Premier League on Demand will feature selected live and delayed matches each week.
David Malone, FOX Sports chief executive, said: “We have developed a strong relationship with the Premier League over the past 12 seasons and we are very pleased to further extend this association for another three years.
“The Barclays Premier League has a loyal following in Australia that continues to grow, and this renewal reinforces our commitment to football fans around the country. We will continue to provide the most comprehensive coverage to our subscribers through live matches, Sports Active, the hugely popular weekly highlights, preview programs, classic archive matches and local magazine programming.”
If I could get a $19.95 sports package I’d be happy. But I’m not paying for the very average basic package to earn the privilage of paying more to see what I do want. And then more for HD.
Crappy streams it is then.
I don’t care about Premier League anymore because Middlesbrough got relegated last season
That pic is of the Champions League, not the Premier League…
Liverpool haven’t won the Premier League in 20years. Losers!
And the way they’re going, they’ll be lucky to still be in the Premier League next year.
The same Four teams dominate the EPL for gods sake.
Watch the CL instead for real competition.
bring it on .. well done fox .
not to be nitpicky but the picture is of the champions league trophy
actually, that is pretty nitpciky. anyway, glad i will continue to be able to watch the arsenal every week.
A game a week on One would be nice but you get that. Saving for the fight for a number of sports in the next few years including the very expensive and lucrative AFL rights.
nice pic, david – it’s been a few years since liverpool fans like me could celebrate the lads lifting a trophy
I’m sick of wall to wall soccer on Fox. Give me few more NFL games during summer.
Your right Adam, i’m glad Fox has got this again. There is no way FTA could offer 5 live games at once.
I don’t mind the Bundesliga games on ONE, & I’m pretty sure they only show ads during the play when the game is delayed or a replay the next day.
The English Premier League has become an exclusive domain for pay-TV broadcasters around the world.
You people are kidding, you want a FTA network to cover Premier League football your off your rockers. Seriously just look at the pi** poor german games with bloody ads. You can’t have ads during a football game, it is a FIFA by-law.
Time for Fox Sports 4 perhaps?
Damn I was hoping Ten would get it … oh well …
Exclusive rights or not?
Damn, I was hoping that ONE would make a bid for the EPL.
bugger…was really hoping ONE picked this up
