BBC Cymru Wales has announced a new deal with the Football Association of Wales, delivering select games from the Novira Cymru Premier for the next three years.
The pact includes at least 20 live games per season on BBC iPlayer until summer 2029.
“This deal strengthens our commitment to provide live coverage of Welsh football, and follows our recent announcement to show all of the UEFA Wales men’s international games up until Euro 2028,” said Carolyn Hitt, head of sport for BBC Cymru Wales. “We’re so pleased to be announcing this new deal with the FAW to show games throughout the next three years of the Novira Cymru Premier. We hope this will be welcome news to Welsh football fans as we continue to bring sport to free-to-air television.”
Jack Sharp, FAW’s head of domestic leagues, added, “I am delighted to welcome the BBC back to Welsh domestic football through this new three-year partnership. This agreement represents another significant step in growing the profile of the Novira Cymru Premier, enabling us to reach more supporters across Wales and the wider UK through increased free-to-air coverage. By doubling our free live broadcast offering compared to last season, we have created a comprehensive broadcasting portfolio where Cymru Football TV and free-to-air coverage work together to serve different audiences. Whether supporters choose to watch every match through Cymru Football TV or enjoy selected fixtures on free-to-air television, more people than ever before will have the opportunity to connect with our clubs and competitions.”
