An announcement of a number of new channels is expected on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.
And for the first time in ten years, Prem games will be shown on a new TV channel.
Champions League matches are also set to be shown on the new channels.
The new channels will broadcast all of BT Sport and Eurosport’s live sports rights, which also include the Champions League, Europa League, UFC, boxing and the Olympics, as well as the Prem.
Warner Brothers Discovery, who own Eurosport, acquired BT Sport last September in a deal reportedly worth up to £650million.
The overhaul at BT Sport will see them move to WBD’s studios in Chiswick and Stockley Park from their current Stratford HQ in East London.
