The Premier League has announced that it will remove its coverage from Russian television following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Premier League clubs voted to cancel the rights deal with Russian broadcast partner Rambler, owned by the state-run Sberbank, which was set to expire at the end of the season.
Per The Associated Press, a decision has yet to be made on the future rights deal with Gazprom-owned Match, which has secured Premier League broadcasting rights starting next season.
“The Premier League and its clubs today unanimously agreed to suspend our agreement with Russian broadcast partner Rambler (Okko Sport) with immediate effect and to donate £1 million to support the people of Ukraine," the Premier League released in a statement.
