List of domestic football league broadcast deals by country
This is a list of Television broadcast deals for Association football leagues per country. The largest domestic TV Deal is the Premier League, which has agreed a deal from 2019-2022 of an estimated £5bn for the three years for 200 live matches per season.[1] It is also the highest value deal per game, as leagues in Scotland and England don't show every match live and have a Saturday 3pm blackout. This is unusual as most other leagues broadcast every match live.
