Premier League returns this weekend
Later this year, viewers will find Sky Sports+ channels integrated within the main Sky TV experience like any other channel, as opposed to being tucked away in an app.
This means fans can switch between different matches or sports events on at the same time quickly.
Customers will be able to add selected matches to their Playlist of favourite shows too as a result.
Updates also coming soon include on-screen match reminders across any channels in the TV guide for live sport.

But these changes are only coming to Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
Sky Q viewers will still have to watch any coverage found on Sky Sports+ within the app - but a revamped look and feel is on the way.
Football lovers get the added benefit of team pages as well, so they can follow any coverage of their club within their Playlist.
And fans will finally be able to watch a game from the start if
they've missed the beginning or replay the full match after the final whistle.

These latter two features are expected to come to Sky Q boxes soon.
But an exciting new programme coming to all Sky TV platforms, as well as NOW and the Sky Sports app, is Multiview.
This provides dynamic live coverage of four games all at once, with dedicated commentary and analysis.
"This is a landmark season for Sky Sports and the Premier League," said Jonathan Licht, Chief Sports Officer.

"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."

World champions Chelsea enter Premier League season with a squad to rival any other and expectations of title challenge

CHELSEA go into the season as newly-crowned world champions. Now the best way to silence anyone who questions the value of the Club World Cup will be to mount a challenge for the English throne. 4 Enzo Maresca has a superb squad at his disposal, but can they finally regain the Premier League title after a near-decade drought?

Boss Enzo Maresca has a squad that would be the envy of most teams. The difficulty is overtaking the three other outstanding sides, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Maresca played down talk of the title when his side closed to within a few points of the Reds last year. But he will find it harder to shake off the expectations of fans and owners in his second season. Chelsea's array of attacking talent is incredible. And, in Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, they have two world-class midfielders. Defeating PSG in the CWC final was a positive sign. Now, after all that exertion in the heat of the USA and a minimal pre-season, the Blues must deliver over a nine-month campaign.

Man Utd ‘pushing for Carlos Baleba transfer as they come up with pay structure and swap deal proposal'

BAL AND CHAIN Man Utd 'pushing for Carlos Baleba transfer as they come up with pay structure and swap deal proposal' MANCHESTER UNITED are planning to continue pushing for Carlos Baleba's signature. Brighton are understood to want around £120m for the 21-year-old, with owner Tony Bloom known for sticking to his guns. 3 Manchester United are trying to do a deal for Carlos Baleba Credit: Getty Play Dream Team now!

But the Old Trafford hierarchy remain unfazed by Brighton's refusal and are currently figuring out how to construct a payment package. Advertisement According to The Independent, United are considering an initial £80million fee with the rest made up of add-ons. There would be a will to send a player such as Roma-linked Jadon Sancho the other way, but it's unlikely that Brighton will go for that. But it's also understood that Baleba is priced above what United would be prepared to pay this summer. READ MORE ON MAN UTD Roo what?

Advertisement Fans questioned how the club could afford to splash £200million on three new signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. But it's become clear that the PSR scare stories were perhaps a overblown, with United operating within the guidelines after spreading out contracts instalments. However, splashing another 100-odd million on a player might be too big an ask. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Advertisement United are on the hunt for a dynamic midfielder to go in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 pivot after unconvincing displays by Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro in pre-season. Academy hero and breakout England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also struggling to find a consistent place and position in Amorim's squad. Behind the scenes of Benjamin Sesko's first day at Man Utd, from meeting team-mates to interview 3 Baleba joined Brighton in 2023 but has already secured his position as a key figure for the Seagulls, making 34 appearances in a season where Brighton finished eighth. He is another example of Brighton's impressive scouting system, signed as a replacement for British record transfer Moises Caicedo - who, in turn, took the place of Yves Bissouma after a big money move to Tottenham. Advertisement This is a tried-and-tested formula for Brighton as they've lost key players in the past, such as Alexis Mac Allister, only for others to step up and fill in. Baleba previously told The Sun that praise from players like Declan Rice, Cunha and Joelinton, as well as watching Man City star Rodri lift the Ballon D'or, has encouraged him to set his sights on the most prestigious individual award in football. Baleba missed Brighton's last three pre-season games, having not played since mid-July with a reported knee injury.

What are new Premier League rules for the 2025/26 season? All 13 changes including never-before-seen way to win corner

THE 2024-25 campaign seems to have only just finished - but it is already time for the new 2025-26 Premier League season to get underway. Champions Liverpool host Bournemouth in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Friday night. 9 Liverpool begin the defence of their Premier League title against Bournemouth on Friday Credit: Getty 9 Players, fans and referees alike have a host of new rules to get used to Credit: Getty 9 Puma have taken over from Nike as the suppliers of the ball Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Play Dream Team now!

And there are no fewer than 13 major changes - including some never-seen-before laws and rules - that fans will need to get used to. One that may take a while is not having a Nike football. That is because, after 25 years, Premier League chiefs have dumped Nike and signed a deal with Puma. And the first Puma Premier League ball from the German brand will be the Orbita Ultimate PL.

Well, armchair fans will be delighted to know there is now even more live Premier League football on the telly - and new insights, too. But those buying tickets to watch their team live could be undone by late fixture changes. And finally, there is a new stadium which will host Premier League football - well, any football for that matter - for the first time. Elland Road, Turf Moor and the Stadium of Light - home grounds of the three promoted sides - have all staged top-flight football within the last decade. But the Hill Dickinson Stadium has not. That is because it is the brand-spanking-new pad of Everton at Bramley-Moore Dock on the banks of the River Mersey. The 52,769-capacity arena replaces Goodison Park, the Toffees' home since 1892, and becomes the 62nd stadium used in the history of the Premier League era. 9 The Hill Dickinson Stadium is the 62nd ground to host Premier League football Credit: Getty 9 Refs will crack down on grappling and wrestling in the penalty area Credit: Getty 9 Goalkeepers must release the ball within eight seconds or will give a corner away Credit: Getty 9 Sky Sports will provide a multiview option on Sunday afternoons Credit: Sky Sports 9
