On 13 May 2021, Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to terminate their three-year renewal broadcasting rights, a decision that will take effect and impact UK live and non-live broadcast agreements.
The termination will affect agreements with Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video, and BBC Sport for the next broadcast cycle, spanning from seasons 2022/2023 to 2024/2025.
As a result, the Premier League has awarded broadcasting rights to companies in Africa, including Multi-Choice, Infront, and beIn Sports. These companies will redistribute the rights to other media houses across the world.
Here is the list of English Premier League broadcast companies in Africa:
- beIN Sports (Middle East and North Africa)
- MultiChoice (South Africa)
- MultiChoice (Sub-Saharan Africa)
- Infront (Sub-Saharan Africa, free-to-air)
And here is the list of English Premier League live broadcast channels in Africa:
- beIn Sports (Middle East and North Africa)
