Sky Sports will not demand to be repaid the £371 million they are owed by the Premier League if the season is cancelled. Talks are ongoing between the broadcaster and the Premier League to find alternative way to make good any lost value in a worst-case scenario. It is hoped that relationships with long-standing overseas broadcasters mean that, in a worst-case scenario, the Premier League would only have to repay at most £150m. There was already considerable debate over whether the next Premier League TV deal, which is due to run from 2022-2025, would dip below the £9.2 billion secured for 2019-2022 seasons. It will become increasingly difficult for Premier League clubs to announce new signings at the same time as asking for pay cuts from players.
