Everton vs Liverpool leads as Sky TV's first free-to-air Premier League offering

The Merseyside derby will be shown free-to-air as part of Project Restart’s incredible TV bonanza.

Sky Sports will show Everton vs Liverpool on Saturday, June 20.

And it will be one of 25 of their 64 games made available to all viewers and you can access it even on Freeview.

It comes as the BBC will also show four games free-to-air in a piece of history, as a terrestrial broadcaster will show a live Premier League game for the first time.

The TV bonanza is unprecedented in England, and all of the remaining 92 games will be shown and split between Sky, BT Sport, Amazon and BBC.

There will also be additional Match of the Day shows.

Sky chief executive Stephen van Rooyen said: “Our commitment to showing 25 matches ‘free to air’ for the first time in the history of Sky Sports recognises the unique times we are in, and our desire to play our part.

“We have developed some terrific new innovations to give football fans the very best experience of watching live sport, when going to the match with family and friends isn’t possible, and we look forward to sharing these with football fans shortly.”

BBC director Barbara Slater added: “"This opportunity creates an historic moment for the BBC and our audiences.

"At a time when sports fans across the country are in need of a lift, this is very welcome news."
