Match of the Day will continue to be the place to go for Premier League highlights after the BBC announced a deal had been struck for a further three years.
There had been reports that ITV could launch a rival bid for the 2016-17 to 2018-19 seasons, but it has now emerged that the BBC has held onto the rights with ITV ultimately deciding not to bid.
A tweet from the official @BBCMOTD Twitter account read: "We're keeping Premier League highlights on BBC for a further 3 years through to & including the 2018/19 season!"
