The Premier League is to introduce regular Friday night live matches and make more football available on television than ever as it attempts to top its current £3bn broadcasting rights deal. For the next TV rights deal, running from August 2016, the Premier League is to make 168 live matches available per season – 14 more than the current 154 – divided into five packages of 28 matches and two packages of 14 matches. One of the packages will include up to 10 live games per season on a Friday night.
