The Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) are preparing to discuss in early 2026 the possibility of live broadcasting matches at 3:00 PM on Saturdays every week for the first time.
On 29 Dec 2025 GMT+7, the Premier League and the EFL are set to hold talks in early 2026 about the possibility of live broadcasting matches at 3:00 PM UK time every Saturday for the first time, according to a report by the renowned British media outlet The Guardian.
The Premier League and the EFL are considering the bigger picture of increasing the value of broadcasting rights and expanding their fan base even further, despite already being highly popular. England has been dubbed home to the best football league in the world, as reflected in the continually rising commercial value each year.
The discussions between the Premier League and the EFL about live broadcasts at 3:00 PM UK time may include inviting representatives from each club to share their views on the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
