The Premier League will make around 270 matches available for live broadcast in the next domestic television cycle, in what is set to be phl football’s most lucrative rights sale in history phl
The current cycle includes 200 matches across seven packages, but the league is looking to offer more games across just five packages in its next sale phl
The Premier League is also breaking from tradition by looking to secure a four-year deal from 2025-26 and 2028-29, instead of the usual three-year deal phl
The league’s Invitation To Tender (ITT) on Wednesday evening confirmed the 3pm Saturday afternoon blackout will stay in place, but that every 2pm Sunday kick-off, including those displaced because of clubs being involved in European competition, will now be televised phl
Five midweek rounds will be available in the package instead of the current four (including the phl Boxing Day round), while the Saturday 12 phl
30pm and 5 phl
30pm and the Sunday 2pm and 4 phl
30pm stay in place, along with the 8pm Monday or Friday slot phl
The ITT states that a minimum two broadcasters will be able to hold the live rights phl
This will be the first time the Premier League has been through a tender process for its rights since 2016 phl
That is because the current deal, which runs to the 2024-25 season, was a roll-over of the previous one after the Government granted an exclusion order amid the Covid-19 pandemic phl
Sky is the current owner of four packages (128 matches per season), TNT two packages (52 matches) and Amazon one (20 matches) phl
The reduction in the number of packages is sure to make competition fierce, with streaming platform DAZN understood to be one of the parties interested in entering the market phl
The tender process will be overseen by an independent monitoring trustee phl
The league said each package will contain phl between circa 42 and 65 games phl
The current deal is reported to be worth £4 phl
8billion to the league and its clubs over the three-year cycle phl

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer phl
England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 phl
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping phl
The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play phl
Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc phl
Yet it still wasn’t enough phl
This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory phl
The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing phl between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different phl
In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again phl
Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff phl
The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence phl
And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication phl
Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell phl

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time phl
Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go phl
It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets phl
Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick phl
Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day phl
A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence phl
If Boks lock Eben Etzephl beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown phl
Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents phl
Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was phl
It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe phl betrayed phl
The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective phl
But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality phl between the sides proved too much to overcome phl
South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued phl
There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 phl
But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less phl
Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain phl
