Sky and BT reveal festive football fixtures
Sky Sports will show 16 top flight games in December and over the Christmas and New Year period, including Liverpool v Arsenal, Manchester Utd v Liverpool and Chelsea v West Ham Utd.
These fixtures are the second batch of Sky’s 116 matches chosen in conjunction with the Premier League.
Sky Business managing director David Rey said: “Sky customers continue to reap the benefits of our unrivalled schedule of Barclays Premier League fixtures, driving sports fans to their locals to enjoy some of the season’s biggest clashes in an atmosphere that only the pub can offer.”
BT Sport will show Manchester Utd v Newcastle and Arsenal v QPR on Boxing Day, plus a double header on New Year’s Day of Manchester City v Sunderland and Tottenham v Chelsea.
Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: “We will be treating BT Sport fans to a Christmas feast of football again this year. Our double headers on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day last year were extremely popular with football fans, and we are presenting viewers with the same gift this year.”
