Sky, BT Sport Reveal Live Coverage Of Upcoming Premier League Season

ManU Manager Louis van Gaal's first Premier League match with the club will be shown live on BT Sport, while rival broadcaster Sky has "secured the rights" to each of Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea's "opening games of the season," according to the London GUARDIAN. Swansea City provide the opposition in Van Gaal's ManU debut on Aug. 16. Sky Sports Managing Dir Barney Francis said, "Forty-nine out of 50 of the most popular Premier League games were shown on Sky Sports last season and a quick look at our opening schedule of fixtures shows Sky Sports is still the place to go for more of the games that matter." Sky Sports "also has the rights to United's clashes" with Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal, plus City's meetings with Liverpool and Chelsea and Arsenal's London derbies with Tottenham and Chelsea (GUARDIAN, 7/14). BT Sport will show Man City three times during its initial selection of matches, as well as City's FA Community Shield match against Arsenal. The channel will air two games between sides that both finished in the top four last season -- Arsenal-Man City and Liverpool-Chelsea (BT Sport).
