Sky Sports taking steps to protect pundit Roy Keane from fan abuse this season
Sky Sports will take steps to ensure Roy Keane's safety from abusive supporters at Premier League matches this season. It comes as the former Manchester United midfielder has been targeted by fans in recent years. A 43-year-old Arsenal fan was convicted of headbutting Keane at a match at the Emirates Stadium in 2023. Ipswich Town supporters also clashed with him at Portman Road last season. Keane, 54, nevertheless, has renewed his contract as a pundit with the broadcaster and will be at Old Trafford for United's opening game of the season against Arsenal on Sunday. Sky's chief sports officer Jonathan Licht said: 'It's our responsibility to make sure we don't expose any of our team to those sorts of incidents. 'He loves being part of the big games and we hope that will continue long into this deal.' Keane will once again form part of Sky's Premier League coverage this season along with the likes of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards. 'Roy is a great guy, you want him on your team,' added Gary Hughes, director of football at Sky Sports. 'He's had a few incidents in the last couple of seasons, with Arsenal and Ipswich, and it does affect him. 'But ultimately he wants to be involved in the biggest games. He wants to be at Old Trafford for Manchester United against Arsenal.'

Sky Sports announces ‘Multiview' for Premier League, allowing viewers to watch four games at once
Sky Sports will introduce a 'Multiview' format for the new Premier League season, allowing customers to view up to four games simultaneously on Sunday afternoons. The broadcaster will exclusively show a minimum of 215 Premier League games in the 2025-26 campaign, up from 128 last season. This increase is partly because Sky will now show any games that have been displaced to 2pm on Sundays. Up to four matches may be played simultaneously on a Sunday afternoon in match weeks following European competition. Advertisement The Multiview format will move from ground to ground and have dedicated commentary and half-time analysis. There will be three matches shown in a column on the right-hand side and one match in a larger box on the left, with the editorial team controlling which game is in the large box based on match action. It will be available across all Sky TV platforms, NOW, and the Sky Sports app. The programme draws parallels with NFL RedZone, a 'whip-around' show that covers all of the NFL's Sunday afternoon games, allowing fans to see the live action of all the scoring opportunities in every matchup. The 'broad rights' to RedZone were recently acquired by American sports media company ESPN in a deal that saw the NFL gain a 10 per cent stake in ESPN. American streaming service Peacock also broadcasted its own whip-around show during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, titled 'Gold Zone.' Later in the season, Sky plan to update the Multiview feature so that users can select which live games they want on their screen. Other changes to Sky's coverage include the addition of a new analysis and reaction programme, 'Super Sunday: Extra Time', fronted by Jamie Carragher, which will run at 7:30pm on Sundays with four or more Premier League matches. Chief Sports Officer for Sky, Jonathan Licht, said: 'This is a landmark season for Sky Sports and the Premier League. For the first time, we'll bring fans over 215 live matches, including every 2pm kick-off on Super Sunday. We're introducing new innovations like Multiview, new programmes like Super Sunday: Extra Time, and a new look schedule for Sky Sports News. 'From the moment the season kicks off, we'll be helping fans stay across all the biggest stories and making sure they never miss a moment of the action.' Sky's Premier League coverage begins on Friday August 15 when Liverpool play Bournemouth at 8pm. Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle
