Premier League Discussion

DAZN has halted its broadcast deal with Belgium football’s Pro League after failing to secure any broadcast/media partners.

The streamer and Pro League’s deal (agreed in December last year) for 2025/26 to 2029/30 was worth €84.2 million per year.

The Emirates FA Cup third round proper draw will be made on Monday 8 December, live on TNT Sports, with clubs from the Premier League and EFL Championship set to enter the competition.

Pre-match coverage of the final second round tie between Brackley Town and Burton Albion will start at 6.30pm GMT on TNT Sports 1 and discovery+. The draw is scheduled for approximately 6.40pm GMT and will also be streamed live on the TNT Sports YouTube channel.
 
Channel 4 has won the rights to broadcast the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, after agreeing a historic deal with CAF.

This deal marks the first time the tournament will be available to watch for free in the UK, which kicks off on December 21 in Morocco.

24 teams will play in 52 matches across nine stadiums, with every moment broadcast live across Channel 4’s network, airing on Channel 4, E4, 4Seven, Streaming and Channel 4 Sport YouTube.

The AFCON 2025 will feature a host of Premier League stars, including Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush representing Egypt, the tournament’s most decorated side. Egypt take on Zimbabwe on Monday 22nd December at 5pm and South Africa on Friday 26th December at 3pm.

Other Premier League names expected to take part in the tournament include Bryan Mbeumo for Cameroon, Amad Diallo for the holders Côte d’Ivoire, Everton’s Senegalese duo Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye, Fulham’s Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, both playing for Nigeria, West Ham’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka for DR Congo, and Crystal Palace and Senegal’s Ismaila Sarr.

The news comes after Sky Sports secured the rights alongside a minor deal with the BBC for the last tournament, which put the majority of matches behind a paywall. This means more eyeballs than ever will be watching Africa’s greatest tournament this time around.

Coverage of the 2025 AFCON begins on December 21.
 
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is high among the candidates Manchester City are considering in case Pep Guardiola exits the Etihad Stadium next summer.

According to numerous well-placed sources outside the club — speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships — there is a growing anticipation of this being Guardiola’s last season at City. A firm decision will likely be made closer to the campaign finishing.

Tottenham's Europa League final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an uncertain future at the club amid growing Premier League interest in the attacker.

BBC Sport understands that Tottenham, while not actively looking to sell the Wales international, are open to letting Johnson leave should they receive a suitable offer.

All four Subway Women's League Cup quarter-finals will be shown on Multiview on Sky Sports Premier League this Sunday.

Coverage starts at 12.50pm, with each game kicking off at 1pm.

Each game will also be available to watch via Sky Sports WSL YouTube channel.

Here's a reminder of the quarter-final ties...

Liverpool vs Chelsea
West Ham vs Man City
Man Utd vs Tottenham
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
 
Liverpool fear record-signing Alexander Isak sustained a suspected broken leg in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
 
Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal to sign Brennan Johnson, although the winger still needs to decide on his future before the situation is finalised.

A fee approaching £35million (€40m, $47m) is in place between the clubs for Johnson, who also has interest from other suitors over a move in the January market.
 
Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is the leading contender for the Chelsea job vacated by Enzo Maresca.

Former Leicester boss Maresca, 45, left his role as Chelsea head coach on Thursday amid internal tensions with the club's hierarchy and ownership.

The process to replace the Italian is under way, and it is understood Englishman Rosenior is the frontrunner, though sources have stressed other candidates are also under consideration.

Crystal Palace have completed the £35m club-record signing of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham.

The Wales international has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Selhurst Park.

The 24-year-old, who will wear the No. 11 shirt, is eligible to make his Palace debut at Newcastle on Sunday.
