Football fans can subscribe to watch all 380 matches live and exclusive in high definition (HD) — available with both English and Arabic commentary.

In addition, AD Sports’ flagship English channel, AD Sports 5, will offer 24/7 coverage of Premier League TV, the official channel of the Premier League. Exclusive programming will include preview and review shows, latest news, special features and in-depth analysis.

A second English channel, AD Sports 6, will bring viewers a mix of Barclays Premier League action and coverage of some of the world’s greatest sporting fixtures, including Formula 1, UFL and tennis, all in HD. Those without HD televisions will be able to watch without any problems.

Viewers have a choice of three ways to subscribe to all the English Premier League action on AD Sports - satellite TV, cable TV or online by logging on to ADMCsport.com.

Subscription for satellite TV and cable TV is available now, and signing up to watch the world’s most famous league is as easy as buying an ADMC box (made by Humax) and smartcard or calling your local IPTV (cable) provider. Live online streaming on admcsport.com will be available soon.

Liverpool legend Ian Rush, former England and Liverpool midfielder Steve McManaman and France and Chelsea star Marcel Desailly will kick off the Arabic programming on AD Sports channels 3 and 4 in a season preview special, to be aired on August 13.

Appearing alongside the star studded line-up will be the newly announced presenting team for AD Sports Arabic Barclays Premier League programming - Mohammed Najeeb, Osama Al Amiri, Haitham Al Hamadi and Hamed Al Harthriy.

Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane stadium sets the stage for AD Sports first Arabic match-day broadcast, with Mohammed Najeeb and his team presenting the opening show live from a dedicated studio in North London, as Tottenham take on Manchester City at home.

Exclusive Arabic programming on AD Sports 3 and 4 will also include Inside the Premier League, The Premier League Live, Football Fever and Final Score.

Mohammed Najeeb, Director of AD Sports Channels, said: “The line-up of Barclays Premier League programming and the talent that we are bringing to the AD Sports Channels are unlike anything seen before in this region. We are raising the standard for both Arabic and English audiences, and offering more than just games and analysis.

He added: “Our viewers will have access to some of the world’s best loved presenting and commentary talent, as well as a host of football legends both past and present, who will add to the analysis and debate as the season unfolds. We are proud to be able to name such a prestigious line-up of talent for our shows. If the football was not enough to keep people watching, then the talent alone certainly will be.”
