As a result of the disruption and severe financial consequences of the pandemic, the government has legislated to allow the Premier League to renew its current broadcast agreements with current UK broadcast partners for an additional three-year period starting 2022-23, without conducting the normal tender process. As part of this, the Premier League will pay at least £1.6 billion of funding to the football pyramid, supporting football through the pandemic. This Memorandum of Understanding sets out the details of the government’s agreement with the Premier League and how funding will be distributed.
