BBC Sport Northern Ireland agrees a new three-year broadcast deal with the Irish Football Association and the Northern Ireland Football League. The agreement is designed to keep extensive free-to-air coverage of both international and domestic football available across BBC platforms. Coverage is set to continue on BBC iPlayer, the BBC website and BBC radio, alongside BBC TV. The deal ensures the continuation of the existing editorial and distribution arrangements that make matches and related football content accessible without subscription. Both outlets report that the arrangement covers Irish Premiership content as well as broader international and domestic football programming. The sources describe the deal as a continuation rather than a change in coverage approach, with an emphasis on maintaining free access for audiences through multiple channels. The agreement runs for three years, following the conclusion of the previous arrangement.
