Sky Sports to broadcast major European competitions for first time in 10 years

On the subject of broadcasting, Sky announced a new four-year partnership with UEFA to exclusively broadcast every match from the Europa League and Conference League in the UK from 2027-28.

Since the end of the 2014-15 campaign, Sky have not broadcast any European games after losing the Champions League rights to BT Sport, now known as TNT Sports.

But from 2027 to 2031, all 342 games across the Europa League and Conference League will be shown across their channels in the UK.

Jonathan Licht, who is Sky's chief sports officer, said: “I’m proud that we’re able to bring European football competitions back to Sky customers."

He continued: "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," added Licht. "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.”
