Number of times Premier League club picked so far for TV makes interesting reading | OneFootball

Which Premier League clubs have been picked the most for live TB broadcast in the UK?

How many times have Sky Sports and TNT Sports selected each of the 20 top tier teams?

For Premier League clubs, we now know the TV picks for league games up to February 2026.

This covers the first 24 match weeks of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

There have now been 160 games picked so far for live broadcast.

Chris Weatherspoon is the football finance expert at The Athletic and he has done some interesting analysis on what is the case with the twenty Premier League clubs as things stand.

He says that the 160 Premier games that we know so far that will be shown live in the UK, represent around 59 per cent of the eventual final 2025-26 season total.

This is how these selected live picks break down club by club, including the estimate of ‘TV facility’ earnings by Chris Weatherspoon:

As you can see, Newcastle United are joint fourth highest in this list above.

With the new much expanded number of TV picks per season, things have changed considerably from this season onwards.

If you were wondering why both Forest and Villa are so high, there is a big contributory factor.

Any league match involving Premier League clubs now, is automatically shown live in the UK, unless played at 3pm on a Saturday. With Forest and Villa playing in the Europa League regularly on Thursdays, that automatically pushes their next Premier League game off the 3pm on a Saturday spot.
