Sky has reached an agreement with television channel Premier Sports, giving it exclusive distribution rights for Premier League football in Ireland from 2019 to 2022. From next season, Irish viewers will be able to watch every televised game from the league under one subscription. The deal is a significant boost for Sky, which already had its own subscription service and was looking at launching another similar offering later this year. A separate deal between Sky and BT will make Champions League football and Heineken Champions Cup rugby available to Irish viewers.
