Football screened live on Fridays from 2016
Television broadcasters will battle it out once more after it was revealed yesterday that Premier League matches will be screened live on Friday nights from the start of the 2016-17 season.
Up to 10 games will be shown live on Friday nights under the terms of the new broadcasting agreement.
The Premier League issued invitations to tender (ITT) for the broadcast rights for three seasons starting in August 2016 with 168 matches to be live, meaning 44 per cent of all Premier League games will be available live.
