Sky Sports 'will not ask for £371m rebate' from Premier League if season is cancelled as talks continue between broadcaster and league chiefs over alternative rights deal

Sky Sports will not demand to be repaid the £371 million they are owed by the Premier League if the season is cancelled.

Talks are ongoing between the broadcaster and the Premier League to find alternative way to make good any lost value in a worst-case scenario.

Although the most-favoured option among clubs and broadcasters is to restart the season and then play to a conclusion, there remains a fear that it might never restart, an outcome which the Premier League have calculated would cost them £762m in TV income that would have to be repaid.
