But supporters have found even more reason to be excited following the broadcaster's latest announcement.
Sky Sports have confirmed their new Prem theme tune will be a reworked version of G.O.A.T by Kasabian, featuring Cristale.
The new song will be in place throughout the 2025/26 campaign, which begins with Sky Sports' Friday Night Football clash between Liverpool and Bournemouth.
Fans are thrilled with the change and have voiced their approval.
One reacted saying: "Kasabian being used as the Sky Premier League intro again, whisper it quietly but this country may be back."
Another added: "Kasabian back in the Premier League on Sky. This country might be back."
Sky Sports have made another big change with Mark Chapman set to join the presenting team for Prem games.
Chapman has previously hosted Carabao Cup games for the broadcaster, and will combine his work at Sky Sports with his role presenting Match of the Day - duties he will share with Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates.

They will through their achievements, I'm sure, be a catalyst for all of our players moving forward."Tudor Roberts leads the girls section, Ceirw Nant, and he too is "immensely proud" of the girls for making the Wales squad from "humble beginnings". "It certainly spurs the young ones on, and shows that the pathway is there and through hard work and commitment it is possible," he said. "We wish them all the best of luck and will be cheering them on for sure."The standard of girls rugby in north Wales has bloomed, with quality games being played weekly. It's only a matter of time before more girls from north Wales start putting their hand up for selection."

Fans accuse Taylor Swift of ripping off Kylie Minogue's Showgirl: The Greatest Hits era with her new album cover
Taylor Swift sent Swifties around the world into a meltdown when she unveiled the cover of her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, on Wednesday. But some are now accusing the American star, 35, of copying iconic pop queen Kylie Minogue 's Showgirl: The Greatest Hits era. The Aussie icon commenced her Showgirl world tour in 2005 with performances in Europe before travelling to her native Melbourne, where she was diagnosed with breast cancer, causing her to postpone the remaining dates. Several fans flocked to social media to claim Taylor ripped off Kylie's showgirl look by posing in feathers and a gem-encrusted outfit. 'Kylie is the one and only showgirl! No shade to Taylor but Kylie is the ultimate,' one person wrote on Instagram. 'There's only one Showgirl and that's Kylie!!' another commented while a third person agreed: 'There is only one Showgirl and that's our Kylie.' 'Queen of the Showgirls,' one person wrote as another added: 'The OG showgirl. Still showing the girls how to do it.' Despite some backlash, others rushed to Taylor's defence and insisted that more than one showgirl can exist. 'So is 'showgirl' only reserved for Kylie or what? Don't get me wrong as I am a fan of both Kylie and Taylor... Was just wondering,' one commented. 'These comments dragging Taylor are exhausting. Kylie is one of my faves but how about we stop pitting women against each other?' a second said. 'Kylie and Taylor should do a collab,' another suggested. It comes after Taylor unveiled first-look images of her jaw-dropping upcoming album artwork to accompany her new record, The Life Of A Showgirl. The 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer, 35, looked nothing short of sensational in a skimpy feathered outfits, which were shared alongside the album announcement. Taylor first dropped the news about her 12th studio album earlier this week while teasing her upcoming appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast. On Wednesday, just as her New Heights episode premiered, the Red singer revealed the official album cover for The Life Of A Showgirl. She confirmed that the album will be released on October 3 — just over a year and a half after the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. In the new album artwork, Taylor sizzled in racy gem-encrusted outfits fit for the stage as she posed in a theatre. Keeping in the showgirl theme, Taylor wore a huge 1920s-themed feathered headpiece and dazzling bodysuit as she gazed away from the camera.
