In a major television coup, Sky Sports will be awarded the rights to broadcast all Africa Cup of Nations matches.
Liverpool star Mo Salah is the star to watch among the Premier League’s biggest names set to play in the tournament, which kicks off in Ivory Coast on Saturday 13 January.
Egypt striker Salah is joined by West Ham star Mohamed Quddus, Tottenham midfielder Fape Matar Sarr, Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson and Fulham duo Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassi. Nottingham Forest are at risk of losing six players, including Willy Boly and Serge Aurier.
The tournament runs until February 11 and will take place during the Premier League’s winter break, although it means Salah could miss eight games. Sky will be able to broadcast all AFCON matches, while the BBC will also secure the rights to broadcast 10 matches from the tournament.
These 10 devices will appear on both channels. This means that fans who miss regular Premier League matches will be able to attend all AFCON matches involving the 24 participating countries.

Tickets have been a hot topic among Arsenal fans this season as Mikel Arteta’s side have arguably not been as strong as last year when they were chasing the title and facing an unexpected opponent during free football. .
