While there remains plenty of action for football fans to sink their teeth into throughout the summer, the announcement was still met with the usual mix of excitement and apprehension. Of course, the fixture lists initially unveiled are never quite how they end up after going through the hands of the powers-that-be at the three broadcasting networks, who retain rights to the UK TV's Premier League coverage. Sky TV, BT Sport, and Amazon Prime Video remain the only places to catch all of the action. The current deal was extended in mid-May in a bid to ensure financial security throughout the football pyramid. Sky's live schedule is likely to be released in the coming weeks. Looking back at previous years, Sky's fixtures for the 2019-20 season (the last season to start in August) were released on June 18, so it may be sooner rather than later. If you're looking to start a Sky subscription, now may be a good time with discounts often available in the early summer months to entice customers ahead of the season. Offers can be found at www.sky.com/deals  The 'Summer of Sport' package, available at the time of publishing, starts from 43 per month. One of the few upsides of football throughout the previous 18 months has been the ability to watch all games from the comfort of your couch. Whether that will remain to be the case is likely to depend on whether or not the easing of coronavirus restrictions goes ahead of the newly proposed date of July 19. Should the football season reopen with stadiums at full capacity, the answer to that question is likely to be a resounding 'no'. However, with the 3pm blackout relaxed for the first time since its introduction in the 1960s, the prospect of all games being available to watch on TV is likely to be a topic of discussion in the not-so-distant future. Amazon's model of showing games simultaneously, and then later available On Demand, may have opened eyes over what may be possible. The recent introduction of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night football is also food for thought.
