It is believed that a deal will be offered to all EE customers which will result in access to the BT Sport platform in time for the new football season.

A part of the recent EE takeover by BT one of the first visible benefits to customers is believed to be a discounted deal for customers on the EE network to gain access to BT Sports.

BT Sports have the rights to show a wide range of English Premier League games live during the 2016/17 season as well as Champions League and Uefa League games so this could be a tempting offer for football fans on the EE network.

Further details about the packages on offer are to be announced later this summer.
