Premier League fans are set for a fresh and more immersive TV experience next season, as new broadcast innovations are being introduced under a record-breaking domestic deal. Among the planned changes, viewers can expect live touchline interviews with substituted players and limited camera access to the dressing rooms — bringing fans closer than ever to the action and atmosphere of top-flight football.

Another exciting feature coming to screens is the presence of camera operators briefly stepping onto the pitch to capture close-up shots of goal celebrations. These moments are often full of emotion and energy, and the new approach aims to deliver that intensity straight to viewers at home. These additions mark a significant shift in how the Premier League is presented, leaning toward a more engaging and behind-the-scenes experience for fans.

These developments coincide with the start of a new four-year broadcast agreement reportedly worth a staggering £6.6 billion. The deal grants Sky Sports and TNT Sports the rights to air up to 270 live matches each season, significantly increasing match coverage for audiences in the UK. While full details of the upcoming changes haven’t been finalized, this expansion marks one of the most ambitious media updates in Premier League history.

Sources indicate that players who are substituted during matches will be given time to cool off before being interviewed pitch-side. This feature is still in its experimental phase, and it remains unclear how frequently it will be implemented or which fixtures it will apply to. Nevertheless, the idea is to offer viewers deeper insights into player reactions and in-game narratives without disrupting the match itself.

As for dressing room access, it will be tightly controlled. Cameras will be allowed in briefly but will be strictly prohibited from filming team talks or private tactical discussions. These new broadcasting features are reminiscent of sports coverage in the United States, where behind-the-scenes content is a regular part of the viewing experience. The BBC will also continue to play a role in this expanded coverage, maintaining its rights to show highlights on “Match of the Day” and producing content like “Football Focus,” alongside newly secured digital rights for online platforms.
