Football seven nights a week…
Sky Sports has announced a major new four-year partnership with UEFA, securing exclusive UK broadcast rights to every match from the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League from the 2027/28 season onwards.
The landmark deal adds 342 European fixtures each season to Sky’s extensive football offering, meaning customers will be able to watch live football seven days a week during the European season on Sky Sports.
English clubs have enjoyed huge success in the Europa League and Conference League in recent years, winning three titles in the past three seasons and consistently drawing record audiences — including last season’s most-watched European clash between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Jonathan Licht, Chief Sports Officer at Sky:
“I’m proud that we’re able to bring European football competitions back to Sky customers. The UEFA Europa League and Conference League have delivered some of the most exciting European stories in recent years, with English clubs consistently performing strongly and lifting trophies.
“This partnership is made possible by the strength of our business model and brand as the home of sport in the UK. Alongside the Premier League, EFL, SPFL, WSL and more, fans will now regularly enjoy domestic or European football every day of the week during the season on Sky Sports.”
Sky remains the home of football across the UK & Ireland, with more top-tier action than any other broadcaster. Currently, Sky Sports customers can watch: At least 215 Premier League matches each season, 1,000+ EFL matches, Up to 60 SPFL games, 118 Women’s Super League fixtures and Coverage from the Bundesliga.
2025 is set to be another record-breaking year for Sky Sports, with expanded football coverage powering strong growth. Premier League viewing hours are up 20%, Women’s Super League up 22%, and overall viewing among women has reached an all-time high, up 14% year-on-year.
This year has also delivered landmark moments across the Sky portfolio, including the platform’s most-watched weekend ever (27–28 September) and highest-rating Sunday (13 April). Record audiences were also recorded for the Ryder Cup, The Open Championship, The Masters, the ICC Women’s World Cup, major darts tournaments, and several Formula 1 races. The US Open men’s final also reached its highest peak since tennis returned to Sky Sports in 2023.
