Premier League fans in Australia will have to fork out more money next season to follow their favourite competition after Optus Sports confirmed it would hike subscriptions prices.
The broadcaster said on Sunday that from August 1 a monthly subscription will cost $24.99 a month, while a 12-month subscription will set fans back $199.
By comparison, a monthly pass this season cost $14.99 with the annual fee coming in at $139, meaning the new plans will be 67 percent more expensive.
The streaming service said eligible Optus customers will be offered a discounted monthly subscription for $6.
