Sky Sports Premier League 2020-21
The Premier League returns on Saturday 12 September with champions Liverpool hosting Championship winners Leeds United in the first live Sky Sports game of the new season.
Sky Sports will show over 140 games in the 2020-21 season, including the first-choice match in every weekend round. Patrice Evra, Roy Keane and Micah Richards will all play a regular part in Sky’s coverage joining presenters David Jones and Kelly Cates and fellow pundits Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp.
For the first time, Gillette Soccer Saturday will show goals as they go in from the 3pm Championship matches and selected League One and League Two games. Jeff Stelling will be joined by regulars Paul Merson, Chris Kamara, Sue Smith, Clinton Morrison, Alan McInally and Glen Johnson. This season will also see the additions of some new studio guests including Adebayo Akinfenwa, Tim Sherwood, Robbie Fowler and Joleon Lescott.
Sky Sports Director of Football Gary Hughes said: ‘With fans currently unable to attend matches in person, it is imperative we provide the best possible TV and digital coverage to our audiences. Confirming Patrice, Micah and Roy to add to our existing line-up of award-winning pundits is brilliant news and we will strive to take the game closer to fans than ever before with increased live action, highlights and analysis.”
The Sky Sports website and Football Score centre app will offer fans in-game clips of all live Sky Sports Premier League games as well as full time highlights minutes after the final whistle for all 380 Premier League matches. All live matches will have the Sky Sports Crowds option until fans return to stadiums.
Saturday Social and Soccer AM return to kick-off the weekend in what is Sky Sports biggest ever season of live football. Musician Chunkz will join the Saturday Social team this year, while Fenners and Jimmy Bullard will continue to welcome guests from the world of football and entertainment on Soccer AM.

About Sky
With 24 million customers across seven countries, Sky is Europe’s leading media and entertainment company and is proud to be part of the Comcast group. Our 32,000 employees help connect our customers to the very best entertainment, sports, news, arts and to our own local, original content.
Following the success of Sky originals like Chernobyl, we plan to double our investment in original content by 2024. We’re also developing a new TV and movie studio, Sky Studios Elstree, which is expected to lead to the creation of over 2,000 new jobs and generate an additional £3 billion of production investment in UK creative sector in the first five years alone.
Our technology allows customers to watch what they want, when they want, how they want, and as we connect millions of families to content they love, we believe it is our responsibility to do it safely. That’s why we offer services like Sky Broadband Buddy and the Sky Kids app. And our online streaming service, NOW TV, brings viewers all the enjoyment of Sky with the flexibility of a contract-free service.
We also believe that a company of our scale has a responsibility that goes beyond our business, and into the community. We recently announced a series of commitments to help tackle racial injustice and improve diversity and inclusion. To ensure the commitments are delivered, Sky will invest £10million per year across its markets for each of the next three years. We’re committed to being Europe’s first net zero carbon entertainment company by 2030 – two decades before we have to – and we’re an inclusive employer recognised by The Times and Stonewall for our commitment to diversity.
