Sky Sports is to broadcast extended highlights of 212 Premier League games, starting next season. 

It means viewers will be able to watch games and extended highlights for the first time ever on catch up.

Sky Sports Managing Director Barney Francis said: “Sky Sports has never been in a stronger position with this deal cementing our position as the first choice for sports fans.”

Highlight footage will feed into the channel's Saturday football show, and the deal includes 380 mobile clips from the League and the channel's rights to 126 live games.

Match coverage will be available on television, mobile, online and tablet through Sky Go.
