Sky Sports is getting ready for its biggest ever season of live football with more than 700 matches from eight different leagues across its channels and digital outlets. 

That includes 126 live games from the Premier League - that's more matches and better picks than ever before.

For the first time, viewers will be able to enjoy regular live coverage of Premier League matches on Friday nights in addition to those shown on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Monday Night Football.

Viewers can expect unrivalled production and analysis from award-winning commentators and pundits as part of a line-up of unmissable domestic and international sport.

And an expanded mobile clips service delivered by the Sky Sports' Football Score Centre app will enable users to enjoy more highlights of Premier League and Football League matches on their phones on match days.

Last season 49 of the top 50 most viewed matches were shown on Sky Sports for a third successive year.
