Premier League urges clubs to allow dressing-room filming and in-game interviews
Briefly

The Premier League is pushing clubs to allow broadcasters greater access to dressings rooms and conduct player interviews during live coverage for the upcoming season. With a new domestic TV deal worth £6.7 billion, Sky Sports and TNT Sports demand more comprehensive content in exchange. While some clubs are amenable to the idea, particularly for filming, resistance arises from managers and the traditional Big Six who wish to preserve exclusive behind-the-scenes content for their own channels. Clubs need to align on this matter to secure a favorable deal and maintain the overall value of TV rights.
The Premier League is likely to require 14 clubs' backing to secure enhanced broadcaster access, amidst tensions with the traditional Big Six regarding content sharing.
With a new domestic TV deal, the Premier League is advocating for rights holders to gain deeper access to clubs, particularly focusing on dressing-room footage.
Clubs could be mandated to allow camera access during two home games, including half-time interviews, to support a more lucrative broadcasting deal.
The existing TV deal's value has risen, but the price per game has significantly decreased, highlighting a need for clubs to adapt to maintain revenue.
