How Premier League PPV Box Office clashes will look on Sky Sports with NO pundits and fans forking out £14.95 to watch
FOOTBALL fans are set for a different kind of live match experience if they decide to shell out £14.95 to watch a single Premier League game on TV.
The controversial announcement was made on Friday, allowing punters to still view every game while they remain banned from grounds.
But for matches not being screened by either Sky or BT, fans will have to dig into their pockets and shell out nearly £15 on a pay-per-view basis via Sky Sports and BT Sport Box Office.
And the new format will also take a different style on the screen too.
Games on will begin broadcasting just ten minutes before kick-off.
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:
- REVEALED The 15 PPV Box Office fixtures including Man Utd vs Newcastle
- How Premier League PPV Box Office clashes will look on Sky Sports with NO pundits and fans forking out £14.95 to watch
- Leicester were ONLY club to vote against PPV games as Prem sides deny claims Man Utd chief Ed Woodward was against plans
- Fans fume at Premier League’s ‘scandalous’ £14.95 PPV Box Office prices for matches and claim ‘football is dead’
And there will be NO pundits for analysis before, during or after.
However, there will still be the usual full Sky Sports nine-camera coverage, giving fans every view needed for an enjoyable experience.
And all games will have commentary too.
Manchester United and Chelsea are two of the first clubs selected, with the new format starting on October 17.
But fans are furious at having to pay £14.95 to watch one single game.

Some have even indicated that they may instead turn to illegal streams so they can watch the games for free.
And even Gary Neville, a pundit for Sky Sports, hit out at the decision.
He tweeted: “This is a really bad move by the @premierleague to charge £14.95 for single matches that have been shown free for 6 months!”
