SKY has announced a shake-up to its popular sports channels just days before the Premier League 2025/26 season kicks off.
More Sky Sports channels will appear directly on the TV guide to make it easier to hop between matches on at the same time.

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.

LOVE OF THE GAME Sky Sports pundit 'gutted' after his son quits Prem club's academy
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."

A missing Kop and a San Siro pitch - changes to Wrexham's home
The club that has spent £20m on players – but has only has three sides to their to more specifically, for some of the former Premier League sides set to make a first trip to north Wales in decades, welcome to the Stok Cae commonly known as the Racecourse, Wrexham's home is arguably Welsh football's spiritual home too and remains the oldest international ground in the world still in having staged Wales matches since 1877, it is now preparing for its first Championship game in 43 just a 10,500 capacity - following the removal of a temporary stand - it will be the smallest stadium in the second tier this unsurprisingly under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, there are big just as the team and the club's fortunes have been transformed since the Hollywood takeover, the stadium is the first major steps were taken this summer requiring more than just a lick of new paint - although that has been done too. 'Future proof' plans With Saturday's lunchtime visit of West Bromwich Albion bringing more eyes to the old ground than ever before, the first sight that will strike many is the lack of fans behind one decades, The Kop had been the terrace where the most ardent of Wrexham fans watched their following relegation from the Football League in 2008, it stood empty. Condemned, it was eventually demolished when the new ownership plan was always a new Kop, but amid delays, a temporary one was installed in time to squeeze in an extra 3,000 supporters to witness promotions from Leagues One and there was always going to come a time where that end of the ground would have to be empty once more, in order for work to begin on a new all-seater Kop drawn up by the same architects behind the new Tottenham Hotspur pencilled-in for 5,500 seats with the option to increase capacity, the club revealed in July they had submitted an application for a further 2,250 seats as part of a second a completion date of next summer, it will mean a Cae Ras capacity of around 18,000 - bigger than both Brentford and Bournemouth's homes - with standards compliant with Uefa so Wales qualifying fixtures can while the club were aware it could cost them in terms of numbers, noise and even competitive advantage as they reached the Championship, the new Kop forms a key part of plans to "future proof" the club with new hospitality areas and vital facilities all part of the project. Those tuning in or turning up for the first time, though, will not see steel girders going up just the temporary stand is fully removed and the area cleared for work, there is little other visible difference on first significantly, a vital new building has been erected near the Turf - the pub which backs onto the ground and where the club was discovery underneath the Kop Stand area of a power cable feeding the nearby university halls of residence had previously delayed creation of a new electrical substation has now cleared the way for construction. Once planning, paperwork and other contractual red tape is finally and formally sorted, the club could be looking at breaking ground this without steel in the sky, there are other fresh nods to how the old ground is dressing rooms set to be in the new Kop, the manager's areas have switched sides in Parkinson and his staff now sit on the same flank as the hospitality areas where Reynolds and McElhenney watch where the manager used to cast an eye over his team, the club have established a new hospitality 'Dug Out Club' option for fans. 'Is it made from human hair?' What also grabs the eye is a state of the art new surface, a pristine pitch laid for the new season in a new it may bring a wry smile from Reynolds and McElhenney whose first real glimpse into the perils of ownership was caught on camera when they were told a £100,000 new pitch lain in 2021 needed immediate redoing at twice the years on, Reynolds queried whether the latest pitch proposed was "made of human hair" when he was told their plans for a new pitch would come in at £ Wrexham believe the investment is worth every penny. As well as the new Uefa-standard hybrid pitch - which chief executive Michael Williamson has compared to the one his former club Inter Milan boasted at the San Siro - new irrigation, drainage and undersoil heating systems have also been also provided new sockets for rugby posts to open up the possibility for union and league fixtures returning to the ground which has held internationals in both codes in the race against time to have it bedded in was aided by the side's automatic promotion - an appearance in the play-offs would potentially have delayed the process by six workers were seeding by June, before round the clock stitching through July ensured the deadline was hit and a stunning green carpet will greet the sides this weekend. As well as being slightly raised, the new pitch has also shifted the in with the bigger redevelopment plans, the pitch has moved by around two metres towards the would-be Kop - which has in turn seen a new TV gantry repositioned to keep its place on the half-way line, providing extra space for the added interest as well as the now standard tactical a reverse angle camera gantry has been installed, again to tick boxes not needed when languishing in new ways have been found to insert hundreds of extra seats to try and make the most of every available vantage point. Screens - which will eventually be huge and housed on the new Kop - have been moved to provide clearer are new handrails, new bigger, brighter LED boards (again, meeting Uefa specifications for international games), and more 'fast-flow' beer taps rolled out after a successful of course, there will be a new red shine to the metalwork after the obligatory lick of new paint as one of the game's oldest grounds gets ready for a bright new future.

Diogo Jota's unoccupied seat in dressing room will be an inspiration and a weight
Beyond the floral tributes, banners, silences and songs, it is an empty space within the Anfield dressing room which serves as the most poignant reminder of a tragically lost team-mate as Liverpool begin their Premier League defence on Friday night. No Liverpool player will approach the spot where Diogo Jota readied himself every match day. That is how it is at the Axa Training Centre, too, an unoccupied seat alongside Harvey Elliott becoming its own unplanned memorial, players and staff intuitively keeping a respectful distance. New recruits can anticipate a polite tap on the shoulder should they naively venture into Jota's space, aware that – just like the No 20 jersey – it must remain permanently vacant. At some point before the opening game against Bournemouth, and no doubt for the rest of the current generation's careers at Anfield, there will be glances towards where Jota should be in a reminder of an eternal quest to honour his name. Since the morning of July 3, when Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a car accident, the direction of the forthcoming campaign, and every other for those who played alongside, worked with or supported the Liverpool footballer, irreversibly changed. The reigning champions are now playing for more than a sporting prize. They are burdened with and in some way horribly inspired by commemorating their friend, a thankless task with the potential to be emotionally overwhelming. We have already witnessed the scenes at Preston North End's Deepdale Stadium, across Asia during the summer tour, the pre-season games versus Athletic Bilbao and at Wembley before the Community Shield, albeit the minute silence was unfortunately interrupted. A floral tribute remains outside Liverpool's training ground, as do the banners bearing Jota's name, the players offering a sober acknowledgement as they drive past every day. There will be more tributes on Friday night. A Kop mosaic will be unveiled during You'll Never Walk Alone and a minute's silence held. The Chelsea squad, in a gesture of solidarity with their Premier League rivals, have also agreed to include Jota in the distribution of £11.4m in player bonuses from winning the Club World Cup. The money will be donated to Jota and Silva's families. Jota's name will be chanted on the 20-minute mark on Friday night, and most likely in every game for the foreseeable future, the Kop's vocal hug offered to his family the most appropriate means of reassuring them that the sentiment 'never forgotten' is not hollow. The club also commissioned a sculpture for Jota and his brother, while the emblem 'Forever 20' has been stitched on to shirts and the hem of the stadium jackets worn upon arrival on match days. The ceremonies will not stop. All future meetings with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Jota's first English club, will naturally become the most emotional of any season. Should Liverpool draw a Portuguese side in this year's Champions League, the clubs will immediately liaise to ensure supporters and players pay another tribute. If Liverpool get close to winning another major trophy, the club will not be shy in stating to whom they want to dedicate such success. The closer Liverpool have come to a return to competitive action, the greater their awareness a balance must be struck between sombre reminders and professional responsibilities, players and staff attempting to navigate the path between private grief and public duty. Liverpool's tone has been admirably stoic in the face of this unimaginable trauma. From the outset, the squad's leadership group took their role alongside the manager and club's hierarchy, through the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) boardroom chain of Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan, FSG football CEO Michael Edwards, technical director Julian Ward and sporting director Richard Hughes. Whatever else Arne Slot achieves as Liverpool manager, he will never deliver more consequential words than those penned in the first responses to Jota's death. 'Be yourself, don't think you have to be different than your emotions tell you,' he told his players. 'We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.' It was a recognition, as has so often been said and written following other sporting tragedies, that there is no monopoly on grief; no set of rules or blueprint to rigidly follow. Some Liverpool players will wish to pay meaningful tributes to their friend each time they score or the team win, and will speak freely about their enduring feelings when asked. There are others more inclined to keep their sense of loss private, believing any questions on the subject intrusive. Both positions are entirely correct. Some of the Liverpool squad had trouble coming to terms with the news upon hearing it. Others – especially the more experienced members of the squad – accepted a role no footballer ought to, effectively acting as grief counsellors to younger players. When you consider those senior squad members are themselves only in their early and mid-thirties, their extraordinary contribution to Liverpool's history as elite athletes is now but one facet of their monumental role in an era of triumph and tragedy. When the club pondered if the players ought to be protected from sensitive questions regarding Jota, captain Virgil van Dijk felt it his duty to speak as and whenever required, as did Andy Robertson. Van Dijk will reference Jota in his programme notes once more on Friday, aware the world is watching in greater numbers than when Liverpool made their Anfield return in a pre-season friendly earlier this month. The message Van Dijk most wishes to emphasise is that whatever the players have been through over the past two months, it is Jota's family, his wife and children, who must and will command most support. The squad's visit to Anfield to witness the floral tributes which began to be laid within hours of Jota's death was, for many, as painful as the funeral. Alisson Becker and his wife, Natalia, guided Jota's widow, Rute, towards the messages left outside the Main Stand amid scenes of unutterable heartbreak. The world moves on quickly while the anguish lingers at Anfield and in Portugal. One need only witness the number of pre-season articles referencing Liverpool's exciting transfer window because of so many expensive signings to realise that empathy is in short supply, and what there is rapidly evaporates. For the players and staff, it has been the most horrendous summer of their careers, and Van Dijk reiterated last weekend that this will be the toughest season in memory. He was not talking only of the footballing challenge ahead. As the players missed their penalties at Wembley in the Community Shield defeat, few – if anyone – stopped to ponder if any of them were thinking that winning the first trophy of this campaign would have meant so much more, or wondered if they were weighed down by their yearning to deliver another meaningful Jota tribute. The Portugal national team will experience the same when playing at next year's World Cup. Yet no harsh judgement is being delivered on any external failure to recognise this. If Liverpool get off to a tough start over the next month, they are realistic enough to know that while there should be understanding of the mitigating circumstances, sporting tribalism means there will be more criticism of on-pitch performances than sympathy for what has been endured off it. The No 20 was supposed to be emblazoned on every corner of Anfield for different purposes this season. For so long that was a number synonymous with equalling Manchester United's league title-winning record, which Liverpool did amid such joyous celebrations last May. Not anymore. The hope by the end of this season is Liverpool's honours board will have moved on to No 21.
