Premier Sports have also secured the rights for live coverage of the away leg of Celtic’s Champions League second qualifying round tie, should the Scottish Premiership title holders progress. If they do, Celtic will play either Valur of Iceland or Norwegian champions Rosenborg on 31 July.

All broadcasters are able to bid for coverage of qualifying ties in both the Champions League and Europa League, before BT Sport has exclusive rights from the final play-off rounds onwards.
