Sky Sports has agreed to pay 3.6 billion pounds ($5 billion) for a three-year deal to show 128 English Premier League soccer matches a season from 2019/20, less than it paid for its current broadcast deal.

Rival BT said it had agreed to pay $1.2 billion to show 32 games a season for three years, after five of seven packages were auctioned on Tuesday.

In total, the companies will pay $6.2 billion to secure the rights for 160 games a season for three years.

The auction of two further packages of 20 games each a season had not finished, with interest from multiple bidders, the Premier League said on Tuesday.

The amount raised so far, however, is below the $7.1 billion raised in 2015 for three-year packages to show 168 games a season.
