Sky Sports has announced its coverage plans for the final day of the football season 2023/24, marking a record-breaking Premier League season. The broadcaster's comprehensive coverage will span across various leagues and matches, promising an exciting culmination to an already thrilling season.

The Premier League this season has attracted a total of 16.3 million viewers, marking a year-on-year increase of 4%. When combined with viewership from the English Football League, Scottish Professional Football League and Women’s Super League, there is an overall increase in viewership by 9%.

Massive changes in commentary box for final day

Coverage on Sky Sports for the final day of the Premier League will commence at 3pm on Sunday. Broadcasting live from Etihad on Sky Sports Main Event, David Jones will be joined by Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp to see if Manchester City can secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Gary Neville will join Peter Drury in providing commentary for this potentially historic game. If West Ham United manages to pull off "the unlikeliest of upsets" at Etihad, Sky promises to broadcast the trophy lift from north London.

Kelly Cates and Jamie Carragher will cover Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers as fans bid farewell to Jürgen Klopp at Anfield. Coverage from Anfield starts at 3pm on Sky Sports Premier League. The final European places are set to be decided as Chelsea takes on Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge live on Sky Sports Football and Arena.

In other games over the weekend, Bolton Wanderers face Oxford United in Wembley's Saturday showdown for the EFL's League One play-off final (Sky Sports Football, 4.15pm). On Sunday, Crawley Town will take on Crewe Alexandra in the League Two play-off final (Sky Sports Football, 1pm).

In Scotland, Celtic is set to lift the title live on Sky this Saturday lunchtime (Sky Sports Football, 12.30pm) after a resounding five-nil win over Kilmarnock earlier in the week.

Following Chelsea Women’s victory at Tottenham, Sky Sports will be at Old Trafford to see if Chelsea can secure their fifth consecutive Women's Super League title in Emma Hayes's final WSL game live on Sky Sports. Coverage will be hosted by Caroline Barker with analysis from Izzy Christiansen and Karen Carney. The game will be shown on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Showcase with Main Event joining at 3pm.

Saturday promises one of the tightest finishes ever seen in a WSL season. A team reporting from Aston Villa Women v Manchester City Women game at Villa Park will keep viewers updated throughout the match.
