The Premier League are open to the idea of ditching the likes of Sky Sports and BT Sport to broadcast matches on their own platform, as per the Mirror.
Sky have showcased matches since the league's inception back in 1992 but it is now claimed that there will likely be one more multi partner deal before the Premier League decide to run the show on their own. BT Sport and Amazon Prime also broadcast matches, with DAZN, Disney+ and Apple all said to be keen to enter the football broadcasting fray as well.
The Premier League’s current three-year deal with Sky and BT is set to expire in 2025, selling domestic rights for 2022-2025 for $6.3billion (£5.12billion.) However, prices have undoubtedly become a problem, with the average fan having to fork out around £700 a year to have access to every game in the English top flight, according to Bloomberg.

Chief executive of the Football Supporters Association Kevin Miles admitted that fans are beginning to feel the financial strain of paying for these platforms more and more. "There’s no question that supporters are increasingly feeling the financial strain," he said.
"We’re not untouched by the general cost of living crisis but the more platforms there are, the more subscriptions we have to find. For those fans who want to watch everyone of the club’s televised games the costs are really starting to mount.”
