Live Subtitles to be available across all Sky Sports<\/em> Premier League matches, while Live Descriptive Audio Commentary will be introduced on selected fixtures throughout the season.<\/p>\n As an extension of Guinness’ existing Sky Sports<\/em> Premier League sponsorship, Sky Sports<\/em> and Guinness are launching a major new accessibility initiative that will make Premier League coverage more accessible for blind, partially sighted and hard-of-hearing fans.<\/p>\n Beginning on Saturday October 10 and Sunday October 11 with the Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool vs Manchester City games, viewers will be able to access Live Subtitles<\/strong> across all Premier League matches broadcast on Sky Sports’<\/em> main channels, alongside Live Descriptive Audio Commentary<\/strong> on selected Premier League fixtures throughout the season.<\/p>\n The initiative represents the biggest accessibility rollout across Sky Sports<\/em> platforms to date and has been developed to help more fans enjoy live football together, whether watching at home, with family and friends, or in social settings.<\/p>\n Live Descriptive Audio Commentary has been developed specifically for football supporters with sight loss.<\/p>\n Unlike traditional Audio Description, which adds occasional explanations to television content, the new service provides a continuous description of the match action, closer to the style of traditional radio commentary.<\/p>\n The enhanced commentary feed helps supporters follow the movement of play, key moments, atmosphere, off-pitch surroundings and on-pitch action as it unfolds, creating a richer and more immersive live football experience.<\/p>\n Feedback has been gathered from representative users, accessibility specialists, Sky Access Services and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).<\/p>\n RNIB has played a key role throughout the development process, helping shape the final service to ensure it reflects the needs and expectations of blind and partially sighted supporters.<\/p>\n Alongside Descriptive Audio Commentary, Live Subtitles<\/strong> will be available across all front-channel Premier League matches shown on Sky Sports.<\/em><\/p>\n The service will allow viewers to follow live commentary, analysis and on-screen dialogue in real time, helping make coverage more accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.<\/p>\n Together, the two services mark a significant step forward in making live sport more accessible to a wider audience.<\/p>\n Accessing both services is fully integrated into the viewing experience and can be enabled in just a few steps.<\/p>\n To switch on Live Descriptive Audio Commentary:<\/strong><\/p>\n To switch on Live Subtitles:<\/strong><\/p>\n The services will be available across:<\/p>\n Making football more accessible for everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n The partnership reflects a shared ambition from Sky Sports<\/em> and Guinness 0.0 to help make football accessible to as many supporters as possible.<\/p>\n By introducing both Live Subtitles and Live Descriptive Audio Commentary across Premier League coverage, the initiative aims to enhance the experience for blind, partially sighted and hard-of-hearing fans, while ensuring live football remains a shared experience that can be enjoyed together.<\/p>\n Fans can check via Sky if a match has Descriptive Audio Commentary available by simply opening your TV Guide and scrolling to the programme. The AD logo will appear alongside the title, and a short beep will also sound to indicate that the feature is available.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Live Subtitles to be available across all Sky Sports Premier League matches, while Live Descriptive…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"two_page_speed":[],"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/skysports-premier-league-accessibility_7370601.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What is Live Descriptive Audio Commentary?<\/h3>\n
