Sky Sports has added ten live Barclays Premier League matches in 2016 bringing even more action from a season that has consistently created surprises and drama at every turn.

As part of the newly announced schedule of matches, Sky Sports will show even more of the biggest games featuring 14 different teams including Manchester United’s visit to Stamford Bridge, and Manchester City at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

Bournemouth, recently victorious over Chelsea and Manchester United in the same week, welcome Arsenal to the Vitality Stadium at the beginning of the month with Arsene Wenger’s side the final fixture in February as they visit Old Trafford.

The matches are part of an unrivalled schedule of sport through the festive period and into 2016, with live England Test Cricket from South Africa, William Hill World Championship Darts on the recently announced Sky Sports Darts channel, and Capital One Cup semi-finals.

Sky Sports head of football Gary Hughes said: “Sky Sports is the only place to see all the stories of an increasingly unpredictable Premier League season, with drama every weekend. By March there will still be 38 Premier League games to come on Sky Sports, and we will be the place to see the thrilling climax to a fantastic season.”

The live matches are part of 116 Premier League fixtures to be shown exclusively live on Sky Sports this season with unrivalled analysis from Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness.

Sky Sports viewers are enjoying another huge season of live football, including 127 matches from Football League - more than ever before – 300 matches from La Liga, Capital One Cup, the climax of UEFA Euro 2016 qualification, action from Scotland in the SPFL and Scottish Cup, as well as MLS and Eredivisie.

Sky Sports will offer at least four more seasons of the Premier League, with 116 lives games this season increasing to 126 each term from the 2016/17 season.

Was thinking this morning how crap Sky Sports is becoming and also thinking on the huge Sky bid for the Premiership. Then I look on the EPG, Live Manchester United v Chelsea. BT Sport.

Middlesbrough v Sheffield Wednesday shown both Live on 402 and 406.

Rangers v Hibernian BT Sport.

Arsenal v Bournemouth, not on TV.


There is less and less big teams on Sky nowadays.

This announcement is like the government announcing new money for the flooding in northern England.

It was always part of the deal but they hadn't told anyone about it yet!!

Sure Sky are going to be showing matches, but I cross-post the list as there may be people who would like to know in advance whether Sky will be showing their team.

Sky cameras banned!
BBC Sport - Leeds United will be charged with misconduct if they ban Sky TV

Sky are in, they have three hours to set-up, and that was almost an hour ago I heard that on 5 live, could make for interesting viewing.
