Via this article on Microsoft, the Telegraph sets out the details of the next Premier League TV Rights Tender.
Rights for 250 matches in 5 seperate packages shall be up for grabs, with the big change being a 6:30pm Sunday slot and therefore enabling WSL fixtures to be moved to Saturday afternoons.
Women’s games would be able to be televised at 3pm on Saturday, as Women’s football isn’t covered by UEFA’s Article 48 of a Broadcast Blackout between 2:45pm-5:15pm on Saturday’s and such a move is seen to help to deliver even greater growth for Women’s football.
The Auction is due to commence in the coming weeks, with the usual suspects all likely eying up games and with Government permission, will be for the period between 2025-2026 and 2028-2029.

Weekends could be crammed with action, with four TV kick off times mooted for Sunday alone, as the top tier sells an extra 50 matches to broadcasters.
Some insiders anticipate extra matches will be accommodated in the schedules by Women’s Super League proposals to move to the Saturday 3pm blackout slot.
Wall-to-wall coverage for the Premier League is possible on Sundays, with broadcasters predicting regular noon kick-offs with the last match potentially beginning after 6pm. Those times were denied by a source close to the bidding process, although the informed figure declined to go into further detail.
