The Premier League is set to cancel its television broadcast contracts in Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters last week said the current deal with Russia was under review due to the invasion.
Reports from Sky Sports and the Daily Telegraph claimed lawyers have been told to start the process of ending broadcast agreements with Russian partners.
The Russian television rights for the current Premier League season are owned by a company called Rambler and broadcast on streaming platform Okko.
