Neos Networks,the UK B2B network provider, has been selected by NEP Connect, a provider of global connectivity solutions for broadcast and live events, to provide high-capacity, low latency fibre connectivity in support of the delivery of live Premier League broadcasting for the 2025-26 season in a new long term agreement.

The new agreement extends a seven-year relationship between the two organisations, which has seen Neos support NEP’s transition from satellite-based production to resilient, fibre-first connectivity. With Neos Networks fibre backhaul already in place across all 20 Premier League stadiums, the company was uniquely positioned to support NEP’s mobilisation ahead of the upcoming season. The fibre infrastructure will enable the live transport of HD broadcast feeds to NEP’s remote production hubs, reducing the need for on-site trucks and personnel.

“Live broadcast delivery demands absolute performance – from resilience and latency to geographic reach – and our relationship with NEP has always been built around meeting those challenges head-on. This latest project builds on a strong foundation of trust and shared understanding, and we’re pleased to continue supporting NEP with reliable, high-quality connectivity as they deliver some of the UK’s most-watched sporting content,” said Lee Myall, CEO at Neos Networks.

Vince Russell, Managing Director at NEP Connect, added: “We’re very proud to continue to provide connectivity solutions to Premier League venues via the unrivaled NEP Connect Anylive network, and our partnership with Neos Networks is a key component of this delivery. Our work together is focused on supporting our customers with connectivity that is reliable, scalable to their needs and backed by industry-leading expertise so they can be successful in delivering for their audiences.”

Underpinned by Neos Network’s UK-wide network, the connectivity being provided also includes geographically diverse circuits to ensure maximum uptime.
