Renault has announced it will sponsor Premier League football coverage on Sky Sports from the start of the 2018/19 season, including, live Saturday lunch time fixtures, Renault Super Sunday and Bank Holiday games.
Renault will be celebrating passion for football and the dedication of fans as part of the sponsorship, with the spirit of fans a perfect representation of Renault’s ‘Passion for Life’ brand pillar.
As part of the partnership new TV idents will be broadcast in and around 96 live Premier League games on Sky Sports this season as well as non-live Premier League programming such as Renault Match Choice, Game of the Day, Premier League Review/Preview and Premier League Years. The Renault idents will also feature on Sky’s On Demand service and the Sky Go platform that allows fans to watch live or catch up on the move via mobile and desktop devices.
