List of domestic football league broadcast deals by country explained

This is a list of television broadcast deals for association football leagues per country. The largest domestic TV deal is the Premier League, which has agreed a deal from 2022-2025 of £4.896bn for the three years. It is also the highest value deal per game, as leagues in Scotland and England do not show every match live and have a Saturday 3pm blackout, banning all football matches to be shown live (both domestic and abroad) between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. This is unusual as most other leagues broadcast every match live.

Note that the European first tier competition values (for the eligible deals) are reported from the 2020/21 season and might have been exceptional due to the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football.
