Football

From the 2022/23 season, the channel for watching the best football league in the world is changing again. Where will we be able to watch the Premier League?

A lot of you probably know it. If you’re a true sports fan, you don’t have an easy life. The constant and never-ending hunt for all the broadcasts you want to see. You have to have O2 for the Czech league. If you get an O2, you’ll find you don’t have Formula 1, or as of this year, the European Conference League.

A lot of you probably know it. If you’re a true sports fan, you don’t have an easy life. The constant and never-ending hunt for all the broadcasts you want to see. You have to have O2 for the Czech league. If you get an O2, you’ll find you don’t have Formula 1, or as of this year, the European Conference League. If you want to keep track of everything, one TV provider is simply not enough.

You could of course go on, exclusive broadcasting rights are given at the moment to the likes of the NHL, NBA, MBL, Moto GP etc… The most watched football league is without doubt the English Premier League.

And because it’s the most watched, it also logically has the most expensive broadcasting rights, which no one can sustain long term, so it’s usually a matter of 2-3 years.

Last seasons we could watch the highest English football competition on Premier Sport channels, belonging to Telly, the original DIGI CZ. That will change again from this autumn. All 380 matches will be broadcast in the Czech Republic by Skylink, owned by the French company Canal+.

According to the information available, the Premier League will collect a total of £4.8 billion for the broadcasting rights. That is hard to imagine. The amount is made up of rights in the UK, rights abroad and also profits from advertising. Teams divide the sums according to which team has been broadcast how many times.

If you’ve started to sweat and lose consciousness at the thought of having to get another TV provider, I have some good news. Skylink/Canal+ are in talks with the biggest Czech operators about possibly providing Canal+Sport to broadcast the PL matches.

So there is a real chance that there will be several of those options after all. Besides Skylink, it should be O2 and also T-Mobile. But we don’t know the exact details yet and the decision hasn’t been made.
