BBC to show live Premier League games for the first time ever
Premier League games will be shown live on BBC for the first time in history
Premier League football will be shown live on BBC TV for the first time since its inception in 1992.
The English top flight has announced that the remaining 92 fixtures will be played behind closed doors beginning with two games on Wednesday 17th June.
Games will be played behind closed doors, meaning every match has been made available to be shown live on TV for the remainder of 2019/20.
Four games will be shown live on BBC with the remaining matches to be shared out between Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video.
Sky Sports have been handed the rights to show 64 games and have announced plans to make 25 of those available on free-to-air platforms meaning you won't need a subscription to soak up the action.
