Who holds Premier League broadcast rights for 2021/22?

Free-to-air highlights are also broadcast on BBC Sport.

In May 2021, there was unanimous agreement between Premier League clubs to sign a three-year renewal extension with the same partners beyond the current season. That means they are now locked in through to the 2024/25 season.

Audio broadcast rights in the UK are held by BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT, who are the licensee for international audio rights.

Television rights in the United States are held by NBC Sports. Matches are shown on a host of TV channels including NBC, CNBC, NBC SN, the NBC App, USA Network, NBC Sports Gold, Universo, Telemundo and Peacock.
