The BBC has agreed a deal with the Football Association of Wales to broadcast the Cymru Premier for the next three seasons.
Under the terms of the agreement, at least 20 matches per season from the top flight will be broadcast live via BBC iPlayer, with extensive coverage of the division to become available on therBBC Sport website.
“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,” said Carolyn Hitt, the head of sport for BBC Cymru Wales.
“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. We hope this will be welcome news to Welsh football fans as we continue to bring sport to free-to-air television”
Jack Sharp, the head of domestic leagues at the FAW, 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.
“The BBC’s commitment to Welsh domestic football will play an important role in increasing awareness of the league, attracting new audiences, and supporting our wider ambition to continue growing the game.”
The coverage begins this Saturday, August 15 on iPlayer with Barry Town United vs. Cardiff Met, with kickoff at 12.30pm.
