BT have 38 games. The Premiership season has 38 rounds of games meaning BT have the equivalent of 1 game per week whilst SKY have about 3 per week.

The Daily Mail reported:

"And Scudamore’s team were able to extricate every possible penny from what were previously the least attractive match choices by the ‘game changer’ of including a total of 18 first picks in BT’s set of 38 games to be shown on the Saturday 12.45pm slot and midweek and Bank Holidays."

"Sky’s ‘Monday Night Football’, an 8pm match, and ‘Super Sunday’, featuring 1.30pm and 4pm kick-offs, are unaffected.
But ESPN’s absence means Sky also take over the Saturday 5.30pm kick-offs."
