ALL Premier League matches outside of the 3pm blackout will be shown on UK television starting from next season.
Previously, domestic fans were often left frustrated by not being able to watch certain games.

In particular, several Sunday 2pm kick-offs involving teams that had played in Europe on Thursday night would not be shown.
Under the new four-year TV deal, which kicks in at the start of next season, this will not be the case.
The £6.7bn agreement will see Sky Sports show 215 live matches per season, more than ever before.
Sky purchased four of the five packages made available.
This will see them broadcast matches during the Friday night, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday and Monday night slots.
In addition to this, Sky Sports will show all 10 final day matches for the first time.
TNT Sports, meanwhile, purchased one package – enabling them to show 52 matches.
These will primarily come in the Saturday 12:30pm slot, although TNT will also have the rights to two full mid-week rounds of games.

The bumper new TV deal package has seen Amazon Prime Video squeezed out.
Under the previous agreement, the streamer would show 20 games each season.
Prime will continue to show Champions League matches, however, with two years remaining on their current deal with Uefa.
Prem highlights, meanwhile, will continue to be shown on Match of the Day, with the BBC having retained the rights.
Next season will usher in a new era for the show, with long-time presenter Gary Lineker having departed the Beeb.
Lineker will be replaced on a rotating basis by Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates.
