In the first four seasons of the programme,
Ford Super Sunday – the title due to major sponsorship with the
Ford Motor Company – used to start at 2pm, giving viewers two hours build-up before the slightly untraditional kick-off time of 4pm, as opposed to a Saturday kick-off at 3pm. Eventually, Sky decided this was a bit too much, and in 1996 decided to start the programme at 3pm instead. From the 2004–05 season, some Super Sunday coverage started as early as 1:00 pm if two live games were shown that day. From the 2005–06, coverage began at 3:30pm if only one live game was shown. Sometimes, three live games are shown on
Super Sunday, with the games kicking off at 12pm, 2:15pm and 4:30pm respectively. This can happen because of one of two reasons, either Sky selecting three matches for live broadcasting on a Sunday during the three time slots or the Saturday 12:30pm game being rescheduled for Sunday at 12:00pm due to the team featured playing in the
UEFA Europa League or the
UEFA Europa Conference League the preceding Thursday night. Sunday noon kick-offs are sometimes broadcast on
TNT Sports instead. Sky advertise
Super Sunday as showing the Premier League's biggest match of the weekend, but, although they have first pick of live Premier League games on most weekends, there are numerous restrictions which mean the best game does not necessarily kick off at 4:30pm, or is even broadcast on Sky. Police restrictions mean many derby matches must kick off earlier while there are restrictions on the number of times Sky can show each team per season. Additionally, Sky can not move a game to take place on
Super Sunday if one of the teams involved is playing in the
UEFA Champions League the following Tuesday, in order to give the team time to recover. As Sky are also the broadcasters of the
EFL Cup, the
final takes centre stage on the network on a Sunday mid-afternoon (usually 4:30pm) in late February/early March, meaning on that particular day, only one Premier League match is broadcast live, usually at 2pm. This was changed to 1:30pm from the 2022-23 season. In the 2020-21 season, when fans were not allowed to attend matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in all matches being televised, Super Sunday was sometimes expanded to broadcast three matches. The matches at 2pm, 4:30pm were retained, with an extra match that kicked off at 7pm or 7:15pm, depending on the scheduled games that day. From the 2025-26 season, Sky has the rights to broadcast every match scheduled on a Sunday (except for any matches selected for broadcast on TNT Sports that are moved from their original 12:30pm slot on a Saturday). All 2pm kick-offs are broadcast live individually on separate channels before the featured match takes place at 4:30pm as usual. Additional features to the coverage on the weeks when multiple matches are shown include a dedicated 'multi-view' screening allowing viewers to watch all 2pm matches concurrently, and a special analysis programme entitled
Super Sunday Extra Time presented by Jamie Carragher, which is shown after all matches that day have taken place. ==Presentation==
