Get Ready for the Most Exciting Football Season Yet!

There is only a short wait left before we kick off what promises to be the biggest ever season of live football on Sky Sports! With just two days to go, fans across the UK can look forward to an incredible lineup featuring 116 live Barclays Premier League matches. This is a record number, offering more live action than ever before. But the excitement doesn't stop there; the schedule is packed with thrilling coverage from the Sky Bet Football League, the UEFA Champions League, the Capital One Cup, the SPFL, and international fixtures.

Brilliant New Shows and Expert Analysis

This season brings some wonderful new additions to the television schedule. Viewers will enjoy a fresh weekend of football with a revamped Saturday lineup. Alongside the popular FL72, there are exciting new programmes such as Sky Sports Game Changers and Saturday Night Football. Game Changers, presented by Darren Campbell and Di Dougherty, is a unique show designed to inspire more children to get involved in sport. It is a fantastic initiative that families will surely love.

Football fans can also look forward to top-tier analysis. The legendary Jamie Carragher is joining the team from the Liverpool dressing room to work alongside Gary Neville and Ed Chamberlin in the Monday Night Football studio. This ensures that viewers get the best possible insights into the game they love.

Unmissable Matches and Derby Days

The opening set of live Premier League fixtures is already shaping up to be spectacular. Sky Sports will cover every team at least twice in the early weeks, ensuring no fan misses out. The schedule includes all the head-to-head clashes between last season's top four, matches featuring all three promoted teams, and nine massive derbies, including the Manchester, North London, Tyne-Wear, and south Wales clashes.

The weekend kicks off with a fantastic opening match on Saturday Night Football as champions Manchester United travel to Swansea for David Moyes' first league game as manager. It is a perfect start to a season that every home in Britain can enjoy. With so much to look forward to, now is the perfect time to ensure you are set up to watch all the action.
