The current agreements are worth GBP 645 million but chief executive Richard Scudamore is confident that when the deals for the next three-year agreement are finalized the amount will be over one billion.

Currently domestic rights for the telecast of Premier League matches is held by Sky, ESPN and BBC and is valued at GBP 1.8 billion.
