Sky Sports announces ‘Multiview' for Premier League, allowing viewers to watch four games at once
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.

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.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey can finally learn from Keenan Allen in person
Even before Keenan Allen returned to the Chargers last week, he was already making an impact in the receiver room. As a rookie, Ladd McConkey studied Allen's practice film on his team-issued iPad, trying to absorb lessons from one of the league's best route runners — the very player whose rookie records for receptions and receiving yards McConkey would eventually surpass. 'You sit in team meetings, pull up your iPad and just watch,' McConkey said. 'Watching his one-on-one stuff from previous years, when he was here. I'm going to check this out, see what he's got.' Now, the 33-year-old Allen and 23-year-old McConkey are inseparable on the field. Throughout practice, McConkey picks the veteran's brain — something he says 'would be dumb if I didn't.' 'He's been doing it at a high level for a long time, so any knowledge I can get, I'm going to take it,' McConkey said. 'He's very decisive and smart… He knows how to win using leverage. He doesn't just run past you — he can set you up at the top, stick and he has great hands.' The prospect of the two playing in the same offense excites McConkey, who says any doubts about their chemistry can be set aside because 'in this offense, we can all move around.' Read more: He's back: Wide receiver Keenan Allen agrees to deal with Chargers 'We can all rotate in different positions and scheme it up the way they want,' McConkey added. 'That's something that's really good about our receivers, and we're all very versatile.' It was the first day the two were able to participate in the same 11-on-11 session, with McConkey returning from an undisclosed injury that sidelined him for several practices and Allen just coming back last week. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Allen's presence has already made a difference, noting, 'We always knew he was a great player, but now that he's here, he's proven it once again… Keenan creates flexibility for us and also makes us stronger.' 'Our training staff is doing a great job acclimating him, getting him up to speed,' Roman said. 'We're taking it slow, in a gradual manner… Getting into football shape.' Running back rotation At times last season, when healthy, the Chargers rotated as many as three deep at running back. With Najee Harris — expected back at some point — and first-round pick Omarion Hampton projected to handle the bulk of the carries, there's still an opening for a third back in Roman's system. With Hampton sitting out Sunday's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints, plenty of reps were up for grabs. Roman called it a 'wide-open competition.' 'There'll definitely be a rotation no matter what happens,' Roman said. 'We'll try to keep guys fresh throughout the game. I think the days of one running back taking every rep are going the way of prehistoric creatures.' That leaves the spot up for grabs between second-year back Kimani Vidal — who started Sunday and finished with six carries for 16 yards — and undrafted rookie Raheim Sanders, who had 10 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown. Read more: Jim Harbaugh: Losing Rashawn Slater for the season 'like a gut punch' 'He [Sanders] did a great job, kind of created some things on his own,' Sanders said. 'Leaned on the defense in the fourth quarter… A lot of it [drive] was him pounding the rock. He did a really nice job for his first game.' Sanders faces an uphill climb, though. Vidal is coming off a rookie season in which he worked his way from a fringe roster hopeful to contributor, making the 53-man roster and appearing in six games. At practice, the two continue to fight for a good share of reps, with Hassan Haskins mixed in. Etc… Quarterback Trey Lance sat out full-team drills Tuesday, which Roman said was simply a rest day after Lance played most of Sunday's game — stressing it was not injury-related… Guard Mekhi Becton has now missed two full weeks of practice as he continues to 'work through something.'

📹 Is the love lost? Fortaleza fans call Deyverson a clown
The Fortaleza fans who went to the Castelão Arena, on this Tuesday (12), were not at all satisfied with the 0 x 0 score against Vélez Sarsfield, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025. And this became evident when Deyverson "joked" in front of the Argentine marking, something he had done before, when he played for Atlético-MG, against River Plate. But this time, the Laion crowd shouted "clown" at the 34-year-old striker. On social media, many are considering that Deyverson has "overdone" the jokes and simulations, letting the "character" overshadow the striker.

'It's go time' - USMNT's Tyler Adams targets breakthrough season with Bournemouth
Adams completed full Gold Cup tournament after injury-plagued season Emphasizes importance of preseason for this season Adams made 32 appearances for the Cherries last season WHAT HAPPENED Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams revealed his ambitious plans for the upcoming Premier League season, highlighting how his limited but successful return to action last spring has restored his confidence. The American has missed 47 games since he signed for the club in the summer of 2023 and emphasized that last season's brief return to Premier League action provided crucial psychological reassurance about his recovery. 'This past season gave me the confidence that I needed to now say: 'You could take the next step. Let's take another step in development. Take a step in pushing yourself',' Adams told the Athletic. 'Now it's like: 'OK, I'm back to myself, I feel like myself'...I've had a nice break. I'm going to be able to get a nice preseason. And (then) it's go time.' WHAT TYLER ADAMS SAID The 26-year-old also touched upon his time with the Gold Cup and the period spent with the USMNT squad, as well as Mauricio Pochettino. He admitted that it was a great learning experience for him and that he was able to iron out what the Argentine wanted and how he expected the team to work. 'It was a great learning experience,' Adams explained. 'Just because I hadn't been in his initial camps to begin with. So I think a lot of guys had a lot more time with him than I've had. Just ironing out that relationship, what he wants from the players, how the players can get the best out of the coaching staff, just balancing that relationship. 'You hear about him in the way that he works, but until you spend a month with him, you don't really know. I've had the opportunity to do that now, so I feel like that will be really helpful in the long run, for not just myself, but a lot of the young guys that had the first opportunity as well.' THE BIGGER PICTURE Adams has struggled with injuries ever since his move to the Premier League, missing a large chunk of games for both Leeds United and Bournemouth. His time with the Cherries has seen him struggle with back and hamstring injuries before returning to fitness in the second half of the 2024-25 season. WHAT'S NEXT? Adams played a part in Bournemouth's preseason program under manager Andoni Iraola and is now focused on the club's first game of the season against Liverpool on Aug. 15.
