The majority of European Qualifiers will be shown on Sky Sports 5, the new home of European football, which will offer up to 600 live matches from the world of European football this season.
Joining presenters David Jones and Kate Abdo for in-depth analysis will be Sky Sports’ best match experts including Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness, Niall Quinn, Jamie Redknapp and Neil McCann. The analysts will offer their views and insights from a brand new studio complete with giant touchscreen technology.
Fixtures which aren’t on the main Sky Sports channels will be available on Sky Sports for iPad's new European Qualifier enhanced experience, featuring video on demand highlights, and on Sky’s red button service.
In addition to European Qualifiers, Sky Sports 5 will also show UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Coppa Italia and, for the first time, Holland’s top division Eredivisie.
