List of Scottish Professional Football League broadcasters

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


This is a list of television broadcasters which provide coverage of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), the top four levels of competition of football in Scotland.

History[edit]

The SPFL was formed in 2013 by a merger of the Scottish Premier League (SPL) and Scottish Football League (SFL).[1] The league inherited media rights arrangements made by the SPL and SFL with Sky Sports and BT Sport.[1] The domestic rights deal was amended in 2014, following the relegation of Edinburgh clubs Hearts and Hibernian to the Scottish Championship.[2]

In 2013, SPFL sold its international broadcast rights in a £20 million, 10-year deal with sports content distributor MP & Silva. As part of this arrangement, in November 2013 a Chinese network PPLive TV agreed to show 58 live SPFL games a season.[3] A deal was agreed in July 2015 for up to 55 SPFL matches to be shown on "mainstream" Chinese television in the following three seasons, as part of the longer-term arrangement made in November 2013.[4] The agreement with MP & Silva was rescinded in August 2018, as it had defaulted on its payments.[5]

In 2018, it was announced that Sky Sports will take over exclusive live rights for the Premiership from the 2020–21 season.[6]
