SUMMARY
The Premier League Media Rights 2001-2022 report provides you with an in-depth analysis of both the league’s domestic and international media revenues.
The English Premier League has global media rights revenues of around $3.9bn in 2021.
The league, which agrees its domestic deals and reports its finances in pound sterling, earns about £1.6bn from domestic rights, and around $1.8bn from international rights. Both values were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the
2019-20 season.
This is a crucial year for the league as it is set to spend it agreeing new domestic and international right deals, with the current rights cycle expiring at the end of the 2021-22 season. The end of the cycle will present a crucial opportunity for the league to maintain its role as the most valuable football league of the world.
