OFFICIAL: Premier League suspends agreement with Russian broadcast partner

Premier League has suspended the agreement with Russian broadcast partner Rambler (Okko Sport) with immediate effect.

An official statement reads: "The League strongly condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We call for peace and our thoughts are with all those impacted."

A £1 million donation will be made by the Premier League to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to deliver humanitarian aid to Ukrainians in need amid the invasion.

The Rambler deal was set to expire in May but there's no word from the Premier League on the agreement with Match TV (owned by Gazprom) which begins next season and lasts six years.
