Wow, think our new deal is worth around £30m a year over 5 years, although it’s only 60 games per season
1059 games in the English leagues is a massive overkill in my opinion

1000 live games a season? How? Who? What?

How much are Celtic and Rangers worth to them?

The deal covers all EFL leagues not just championship, so not 1000 championship games.

The number of games there means they’ll not be showing the 60 odd games that they’ve paid for in that period for Scotland but the minimum requirement in the deal which is 48. At least there’s a package of 20 games a season that someone else will hopefully pick up.

Sorry I changed my post, as I thought it was the Championship only

“Under the terms of the new deal, Sky will be allowed to show 60 games per season from 2024-25 — up from 48. In return, the broadcaster is prepared to increase payments to Premiership clubs from the current £25m to £30m by 2028-29.

Sky would also have first refusal on two additional bundles of ten games per season at a cost of £4m from 2024-25.

That, potentially, could mean 80 games are eventually shown per year with clubs sharing £38m”

Must admit that's how I read it first time round. Teach me not to skim but read carefully, as an old teacher of mine use to advise. 📖

Fair point😀

The main negative on this deal for the EFL, is it will increase the budgets of the teams. Will make it harder for Hibs etc to compete

Not sure about that. So many clubs in EFL almost insolvent. This might just stop a few going into bankruptcy.

With the TV money on offer it'll encourage more teams to press the gamble button and overspend. Ticket prices will go up etc. When will they show the games? Mondays, Thursdays and a bit of Fridays? Early late kick offs Saturday Sunday? The folks that support the teams will be arsed about. Money good, price paid, probably bad overall.

Could make it even harder for us to compete with English clubs for signings. Even the ***** League 2 clubs will be able to pay more than us.

That's how I see it, relatively they will have some serious money to play with.

Does it not depend on how they split the payments to the teams? My fag packet calculations make it £176k per game shown in the EFL and 500k for each SPFL game. Even if the money was divided equally among all the EFL teams it would only work out at £2.6m a year and their £935m figure includes the League cup. Our deal if split equally would be £2.5m a year and that does not include the viaplay money for the League and Scottish cup

Yup that’s what I think .*****y little teams in League 1 and 2 will have enough money to take players down south from Scotland..This isn’t good from a Scottish perspective.

None of this is deserved either. The SPL games rate higher on Sky than the Championship does most weeks. This is what happens when you're reliant on English centric corps.

And as Ringothedog points out, we get paid more per game i.e. 2.84 times what the EFL will for this new deal.

I see as part of the deal 'Article 48', the blocked broadcast period between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons was remaining yet Sky are showing Premier league game today at 15:00 know coronation is on today but I though this was set in stone no exemptions
