London - Sky says that Sky Sports+ will provide a more
personalised experience that will make it easier for fans to follow their teams
and sports.
The expansion has in
part been made possible by new agreements that will expand coverage of the EFL,
and separate agreements with the major tennis tours and men’s Super League. The
apps will have the capability to show up to 100 live events concurrently, while
a linear channel will showcase a selection of the best live sport.
Jonathan Licht,
Managing Director at Sky Sports said, “Exceptional sport, covered in an
innovative and compelling way, has been a big part of our history. With the
introduction of Sky Sports+, we are now able to offer sport fans more choice
and an even better experience when watching the live action, at no extra cost.
“For the first time,
we will broadcast every game live from across the EFL on the opening weekend.
It’s going to be a huge moment for football fans up and down the country and is
a fitting way to kick off our ground-breaking new partnership with the EFL. And
this is just the beginning; Sky Sports+ unlocks the potential for us to keep
evolving and finding new ways to deliver brilliant sport to our customers.”
An improved
multi-sports scores section on the Sky Sports app will offer fixtures, live
scores and an extended view beyond the usual seven-day football calendar. There
is also a refreshed design and navigation, including a much-requested dark mode
to improve usability.
