“We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the Premier League for a further three seasons and bringing world-class football to passengers worldwide.”

The extended agreement strengthens the relationship between the two parties that covers multiple areas.

Earlier this week, IMG extended its long-standing, exclusive global partnership with the English top-flight to manage, license, and market its video archive, until 2025, while in May, the agency prolonged its production and distribution deal with the league, covering the Premier League Productions (PLP) in-house media arm, for the next three seasons.

Sport 24, which launched in 2012, has rights to a host of other major sporting properties including Europe’s UEFA Champions and Europa League, the Asian Football Confederation, basketball’s NBA, American football’s NFL, as well as tennis’ four grand slams.
