The Scottish Professional Football League today announced that Sky Sports and BT Sport will continue to broadcast live Ladbrokes Premiership matches until the end of season 2019/20.

The league’s two partners broadcasters already had the right to screen up to 30 live Ladbroke Premiership matches each per campaign until the end of season 2016/17.

That was improved upon at today’s SPFL meeting of all 12 Ladbrokes Premiership clubs, when agreement was reached with both Sky Sports and BT Sport to extend their deals by a further three years to the end of season 19/20. In addition, BT Sport will show up to six Ladbrokes Play-Off matches live per season.

Managing Director John Nelms said of the deal, “We are delighted that a media agreement has been reached between the SPFL, with both Sky and BT, through which our national pastime will be delivered to an ever-increasing audience here in the UK. As we continue to strive for sustained excellence here at Dundee Football Club, it is an asset to be a part of forward-thinking partnerships like this, as they serve as a foundation to provide stability as well as shaping the game for the future.”
