Twitter has signed a deal with Sky Sports to show Premier League highlights and goals on the social media site from the 2016/17 season. The Sky Sports Football Centre app will also carry full highlights of every Premier League and Football League match for Sky Sports TV customers, including those shown on BT Sport after those games have ended. Twitter’s Theo Luke said of the deal: “We can’t think of a better way to continue the momentous summer of sport on Twitter than live Premier League video clips. As part of the agreement, Twitter users in the UK and Ireland will be able to see video clips of key moments and goals from all games broadcast by Sky in real time via the SkyFootball Twitter account. By expanding our partnership with Twitter, we can bring even more great action to an even bigger audience.”
