The new tender to air Premier League matches has been released with the new deal set to include around 200 of its 380 matches made available for live broadcast, 42 more than before.
According to reports in the Telegraph, the matches will be broadcast in midweek, on Bank Holidays and Saturday nights to rival staples such as Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor.
The tender document for the television rights to Premier League fixtures will further follow the footsteps of the English Football League, which had decided to include entire midweek rounds in its next broadcasting deal.
