News UK has teamed up with Sky Sports to secure another four years of Premier League highlights.

The partnership between Sky Sports and News UK means that all News UK online subscribers will be provided with near-live Premier League highlights for at least another four years.

News UK publishes The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times amongst other titles.

The new arrangement with Sky Sports and the Premier League will begin from the 2016/17 football season.

"It was a competitive process with lots of interest from across the industry, which is testament to the innovation displayed by, and intuitive marketing campaigns created by, teams at News UK since first winning the rights in 2013. This new partnership with Sky Sports will undoubtedly bring a better product to market for our customers." said Mike Darcey, News UK chief executive.

Barney Francis, Sky Sports managing director, said: "The way people watch sport is changing rapidly and this agreement ensures Sky Sports will continue to offer the best coverage across TV, mobile, online and social media. However they choose to watch, our customers will have all the defining moments from the Premier League at their fingertips for years to come."

The first three year deal between News UK and Sky Sports began in the 2013,14 football season.
