Sky Sports and BT Sport have confirmed their live Premier League TV games for the early weeks of the new season.
The arrangements for this season are the same as last with Sky screening 116 games live and BT 38.
Sky have 20 first picks and BT 18, but crucially Sky can dictate which weekends they use their first picks on. Sky also have a number of second and third picks ahead of BT.
Sky's matches are in the 1.30pm/4pm Sunday, 8pm Monday and 5.30pm Saturday slots while BT's will be mainly 12.45pm on Saturdays, although they also have rights to some midweek and bank holiday games as well.
Although there is one live Friday game for the first time, this will be a one-off with regular Friday Premier League matches not starting until next season when the next TV deal kicks in.
