Super Sunday (British TV programme)

It had been presented since its debut in August 1992 by former TV-am host Richard Keys alongside a variety of guest match pundits until January 2011.

The commentary team of Martin Tyler and former Scotland striker Andy Gray became synonymous with Sky's football coverage, although other commentators were also used.

Gray was sacked in January 2011 ‘unacceptable and offensive behaviour’[1] and in April 2011 former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was confirmed as his replacement.

This first broadcast featured a digital on-screen graphic (DOG) throughout the game showing the score and match time.

From the 2004–05 season, some Super Sunday coverage started as early as 1:00 pm if two live games were shown that day.

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 12:30 pm game being rescheduled for Sunday at 12:00 pm due to the team featured playing in the UEFA Europa League or the UEFA Europa Conference League the preceding Thursday night.

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 4:30 pm, or is even broadcast on Sky.

Martin Tyler and Andy Gray have been the most regular commentators on Super Sunday, appearing either as a team or split over two matches.

During the 2020-21 season, the programme was largely presented from Sky's London studio due to COVID-19 restrictions on the number of personnel that can be in attendance at matches.
