Premier League clubs are split over proposals to extend the current domestic television contract with existing rights-holders or run a tender process — a plan revealed by Sportsmail last year.
The issue is set to be a litmus test for the balance of power in the top flight following the collapse of the European Super League proposal.
A number of the Big Six are convinced they can secure an increase on the existing £1.5billion-a-year domestic rights deal by selling some of the TV packages to streaming services such as DAZN, Amazon and Disney.
