Children to front Premier League broadcast for Sky Showcase

For the first time ever, Sky Sports is inviting four young football fans to step in front of the cameras and give viewers at home a special presentation of Premier League fixture Brentford FC v Liverpool FC on 2 January 2023.

The minor-led experiment will be shown on Sky Showcase.

Presenter Kelly Cates will be joined by two junior fans of both Clubs who will each be given a shot at presenting, interviewing, and commentating.

The four children joining Sky Sports – either from Hounslow schools or schools who work with the Liverpool FC Foundation – are Naveed, Rishi, Delilah and Aman.

“The younger generation are the future of Sky Sports and Premier League Juniors will put them front and centre of our coverage. We hope to inspire kids up and down the country. Who knows, we might discover the next Gary Neville or Kelly Cates.” 

Premier League Juniors, exclusively live on Sky Showcase, starts at 5pm on 2 January 2023. Sky Sports Main Event will have traditional coverage with regular faces Gary Neville, Micah Richards, Jamie Carragher, and David Jones.
