The addition of half-time player or manager interviews and in-match interviews with managers or substituted players are also coming to domestic coverage from TNT and Sky Sports.
Premier League teams will have to allow broadcasters access to one of the new enhancements at least twice per season.
However, clubs will be able to deny access to their dressing rooms if they are losing - as outlined in Section K of the league's latest handbook.
Access can be restricted if the team are losing at the time the access was due to be provided.

Clubs will also be able to have the final say on if audio from inside the dressing room is recorded.
If access is denied then clubs will have to accommodate another request for access later in the season.
The process of adding the new enhancements has been thoroughly mapped out by the league, outlining the procedure that clubs and broadcasters will have to take.
Broadcasters must request enhanced access at least five days before the match they want it for, identifying what kind of access they would prefer.

Newcastle send scouts to watch Greece star, 26, with £87million release clause after Benjamin Sesko picks Man Utd
Newcastle are considering a move for a Premier League striker too BEN AND GONE Newcastle send scouts to watch Greece star, 26, with £87million release clause after Benjamin Sesko picks Man Utd NEWCASTLE UNITED sent scouts to watch a potential new star striker after learning they are likely to miss out on their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko. The Magpies appear to have lost the race to sign highly-rated Sesko to Manchester United after the 22-year-old indicated he would prefer a switch to Old Trafford. Advertisement 6 Newcastle could move for Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis after being snubbed by Benjamin Sesko Credit: Getty 6 Club scouts watched the Greek star play against Nice on Wednesday night Credit: AFP Eddie Howe will need a new frontman if Alexander Isak is to depart for Liverpool after seemingly trying to force an exit. And SunSport understands that could be Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis. Newcastle scouts watched the Greek ace, 26, on Wednesday night as Benfica beat Nice 2-0 in a Champions League qualifier. Pavlidis is understood to have a release clause worth £87million. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL 'HE'S IRREPLACEABLE' Aston Villa suffer huge injury blow as they thump Euro giants 4-0 The 48-time Greece international scored 30 goals and registered 13 assists in 57 appearances across all competitions last season. SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Pavlidis was also being considered by Manchester United in the event they are unable to sign Sesko. Newcastle are considering other targets too as they scramble to find an adequate contingency plan for Isak's potential exit. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is of interest to Howe and his team, but has been valued at a whopping £80million by the Blues. Advertisement 6 6 BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Jackson is available this summer after falling behind new signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. Advertisement But Chelsea's player trading model will mean they will stand firm on recouping a good price for the striker, who still has eight years remaining on his contract. Man Utd vs Newcastle: Sesko bidding war begins | Transfers Exposed Boss Enzo Maresca has left the door open to that exit too, saying this week: "When the transfer window is open, unfortunately or fortunately, anything can happen. "So this also involves Nico's situation at the moment." Alexander Isak's future at Newcastle is still up in the air, despite Liverpool's well-documented interest. Advertisement The Swede was frozen out of Newcastle's family barbecue gathering organised by Howe on Wednesday, instead being ordered to report to training after the rest of the squad had left. The Toon boss said on Monday that Isak must "earn the right" to training his teammates after "acting poorly" amid the speculation around his future. Liverpool had a £110m bid turned down by Newcastle for the bagsman and insiders have insisted that they do not plan on returning with an improved offer. However it is not clear if that is a negotiation tactic as they try and bring Newcastle down from their £150m valuation.
