Roman Kemp will host a new Premier League Friday show on Sky Sports News this season, as Sky gears up for new ground-breaking partnership with the Premier League.

As the 2025/26 Premier League season kicks off on Friday August 15, Sky Sports is bringing fans more live football than ever before – with a record minimum of 215 matches and 80 per cent of all televised fixtures shown exclusively live on Sky, under a new landmark rights agreement.

To support this significant uplift in live football and stories to tell, Sky Sports News is launching a brand-new weekday magazine programme: The Premier League Show, airing Monday to Friday from 5pm to 7pm, as part of a slate of new content strands on the channel.

The show will serve as the go-to destination for football fans, combining the latest news, in-depth features and expert analysis to offer a daily snapshot of all things Premier League.

In an exciting new signing to Sky Sports, broadcaster Kemp will host a special Friday edition of the programme, Premier League Friday, which will act as a gateway to the weekend of football on Sky. Broadcasting live from the studio every week, Roman will bring his trademark energy and passion for football to the show, while also offering a new and different point of view to Sky Sports News‘ storytelling.

Kemp said: “Football means more to me than anything. To be a part of a show like this building up to the biggest games in world football is a real privilege. I can’t wait to get going and as a fan, do this show justice.”

From Monday to Thursday, the show will be hosted by a single presenter, with Julian Warren and Emma Paton alternating presenting duties. Each episode will also feature a dedicated reporter and pundit to unpack the day’s biggest Premier League stories.

Roman will host the first show of the new season on Friday August 15 on Sky Sports News, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Main Event, building up to the Premier League’s opening weekend which kicks off with Liverpool vs Bournemouth that evening.

Coverage of the match begins at 6:30pm on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.
