The Premier League is back with a season that will be unlike any other, thanks to a gaping six-week break for the World Cup in Qatar.

It all kicks off with Crystal Palace vs Arsenal today, Friday 5 August 2022, and then continues apace until November.

Here's how to follow it, plus information for live matches at the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season.

UK TV broadcast plans for 2022/23 Premier League season

The 2022/23 Premier League season will be rather interesting, as the arrival of the first World Cup to be held in winter means things are getting started early. It'll also take a break in the middle for six weeks.

As in previous years, live matches in the UK will be spread betweem Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video.

That means 128 matches will be screened by Sky, over 50 by BT, and 20 by Amazon. The BBC will again show highlights on Match of the Day.

There will be no free-to-air matches on TV this season.

It is worth noting that, like last year, Sky Sports and BT Sport will broadcast matches in 4K HDR. Sky Q customers with compatible boxes and those with Sky Glass will be able to view Sky's live games in both Ultra HD and HLG HDR.

BT TV customers will be able to view BT Sport's 4K HDR matches. As will those with a BT Sport Ultimate subscription and a compatible games console or mobile device.
