Sky Sports announces major change for anyone watching Premier League games

Sky Sports is introducing two accessibility features for its Premier League coverage, adding Live Descriptive Audio Commentary and Live Subtitles. The audio commentary provides visual details such as player movements, positioning, referee signals, and substitutions for blind and partially sighted fans, while live subtitles will support deaf viewers and those with hearing loss.

The descriptive commentary begins on Saturday, October 10, during the Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur fixture, and will continue for one match per day each gameweek. Additionally, Live Subtitles will be offered across all front-channel Premier League broadcasts, covering roughly 210 matches each season.
