History

Historical Context

May 1992 the breakaway Premier League signed a five-year, £304 million broadcast deal with Sky, launching the league’s inaugural 1992-93 season on 15 August with 22 clubs playing 42 matches each. The influx of TV money spurred record transfers such as Blackburn’s £3.3 million purchase of Alan Shearer, a pattern echoed today as Sky offers subscription bundles and clubs chase multimillion-pound signings.
