Premier League considers mid-game interviews as major changes to television coverage proposed

The Premier League could have mid-game or half-time interviews as part of its broadcast coverage next season.

The concept has been used successfully in other sports, including cricket and rugby, and there is a possibility it becomes part of top-flight football in England, too.

At present, clubs conducted pre and post-match interviews as part of their broadcast obligations, but that could now be increased.

The Premier League continually works with clubs and broadcasters to enhance its coverage and mid-game or half-time interviews is one proposal on the table.

Any changes to broadcast coverage, however, would need to be approved by clubs ahead of the next television rights cycle - which begins next season.

The Premier League agreed a new deal with Sky and TNT Sports for their domestic tv rights back in December 2023.

The deal, which runs for four year from the 2025-26 season, was reportedly worth £6.7billion.

As part of the package, for the first time in history, all matches outside of the Saturday 3pm kick-offs will be broadcast live in the UK.
