Sky Sports will be the home of the Premier League on the final day, with all the build-up and three games exclusively live from both ends of the table as a dramatic season comes to a close.
The three teams who are still in danger of relegation will all be in action on Survival Sunday, while Sky Sports viewers can also watch Jose Mourinho's Chelsea play their final match before being awarded the Barclays Premier League trophy at Stamford Bridge.
Sunderland will be the visitors to west London, potentially hoping to preserve their Premier League status, while Newcastle United take on West Ham United with the same aim. Hull City host Manchester United and must win and hope for other results to go their way to remain in the top flight.
Sky's live fixtures this Sunday are:
- Hull City v Manchester United, live on Sky Sports 1 from 2pm
- Chelsea v Sunderland, live on Sky 1 from 2pm
- Newcastle United v West Ham, live on Sky Sports 3 from 2.55pm
While viewers have the choice between three matches kicking off at the same time, they will also be delivered live updates and goal replays from the other matches to ensure they are fully up to speed with the relegation picture as it happens.
Gillette Soccer Special will also offer six hours of coverage of the final day, with Jeff Stelling presenting the final edition of the season across Sky Sports News HQ from 12noon on Sunday.
On skysports.com and Sky Sports' mobile apps, fans can follow the action from the final day via an interactive live blog. Fans can also choose individual matches and recieve minute-by-minute clockwatch updates.
The final three Premier League matches complete a 23rd season on Sky Sports, with 49 of the 50 most watched matches all live on Sky Sports once again this term. All 20 teams are featured in the 49 matches screened, underlining the importance to viewers of Sky Sports’ coverage of clubs at both ends of the table.
Sky Sports will also show all three Sky Bet Football League play-off finals this weekend, starting with Southend United v Wycombe Wanderers live from Wembley on Saturday.
Preston North End then face Swindon in the League One play-off on Sunday, before the Championship play-off sees Middlesbrough and Norwich City fighting for a place in the Premier League on Monday.
As the football season draws to a close, Sky Sports stands on the brink of another huge summer of sport for Sky Sports viewers with a schedule that includes The Ashes, Major golf, every Formula One Grand Prix weekend, England’s IRB World Cup warm-up matches and the return of another huge season of live football.
Sky Sports will offer at least four more seasons of the Premier League, including three times as many live matches as any other broadcaster, the most-watched slots in the schedule and the best match picks from the 2016/17 season.
In February, Sky Sports secured exclusive rights to the Premier League from 2016-17 to 2018-19, winning five of the packages available and increasing the number of games to 126 per season. This ensured that Sky Sports will continue to be the home of the Barclays Premier League for at least another four years.
Next season, Sky Sports viewers can also enjoy even more live Football League coverage, with 148 live games from the Sky Bet Football League, Capital One Cup and Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
