Where to watch 2015-16 season on TV: Champions League on BT, more live Football League games on Sky and highlights on Channel 5



Champions League
This is the biggest shake-up of next season on TV - the only place you will be able to see live Champions League games is on BT Sport.
They have wrestled the live rights from Sky and ITV, although ITV will have a Wednesday 10.40pm highlights show featuring action from that night and Tuesday's games.
Every single game will be live on BT which is launching a third channel to help cater for its arrival. It's not clear how it will accommodate all the other games with some suggestions only BT Broadband customers will have access to all games, but the big ones will definitely be on the main BT Sport channels.
BT has promised to make a selection of games from the competition free-to-air including the final, but again full details are not available.
As for its coverage, Jake Humphrey is expected to share presenting duties with BBC anchor Gary Lineker. It's been widely reported Lineker will be hosting Champions League football on BT in a deal which will allow him to continue to present Match of the Day on the BBC as well.
Expect Rio Ferdinand and BT regulars Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves and Steve McManaman to be heavily involved in coverage. Ian Darke and Darren Fletcher are likely to be lead commentators as well - as they are on BT's Premier League coverage.
Although impressive so far, BT's football coverage is still considered not to be up to Sky's supreme standard (particularly on the punditry side) and they will be expected to up their game further as the sole live broadcaster.


Europa League
Like the Champions League, the Europa is heading to BT Sport only. They've had the worst pick of the games so far having inherited ESPN's old deal. But the Europa is only on BT live next season, so they'll now have the biggest games with ITV out of the picture.




Football League
LIVE:
This is the other big change next season. Live games remain exclusively on Sky Sports, but now with more matches than ever before.
There will be 112 games per season screened, that's an extra 38 matches a season. Expect Sky to schedule some on midweeks up against BT's Champions League coverage.
Sky's deal with the Football League again includes all the play-off matches, the Capital One Cup and a selection of matches from the Johnstone's Paint Trophy
HIGHLIGHTS:
No longer will you have to struggle to stay awake to see the Football League highlights...the BBC has lost out to Channel 5 for the rights.
And that means the end of the sometimes post-midnight Football League Show and the start of a new show which will start at 9pm every Saturday night.
That means you can now see all the goals from the country's top four divisions with the new Football League highlights show which will finish at 10.30pm in time for Match of the Day on BBC One.

And the rest........stays the same as this season:

Premier League
116 live games on Sky Sports
38 live games on BT Sport
(new mega deal with more games than ever before - including Fridays - doesn't start until 2016-17 season)
Highlights agin on BBC on Match of the Day.

Live games again split between Sky Sports and BT Sport - including 15 matches from outside the Premiership.
