Premier League may sell 'super pack' of live and near-live TV rights as Amazon prepare to enter bidding war

The Premier League could merge their unsold UK rights for 2019-22 into one 'super pack' of action that includes 40 live games per season, 'near live' rights to all 380 games per year as well as all 'clip rights' that allow almost instantaneous screening of all goals as they are scored.

This would be the first time that rights to live games are sold along with near-live rights.

Sky currently own the near-live rights to all games and use those to pack out their schedules with 'catch-up' content. Sky's parent company own the clip rights (at around £15million a year) and use them via various newspaper websites and apps.
