IMG Media agree a deal to broadcast live games from the Premier League on cruise liners across the globe.

Luxury cruise ships have struck a deal to show live Premier League matches during their trips across the world.

IMG Media hold the rights to broadcast footage from the English top flight on boats and planes and they have recently negotiated a deal with Cunard liners and P&O to exclusively show games through their Sport 24 channel.

"We look forward to working with Cunard and P&O cruises to bring live 24-hour sports coverage to sports lovers on board ship allowing fans to enjoy the Barclays Premier League and more while sailing to destinations right across the world," the Daily Mail quotes IMG media senior vice-president Richard Wise as saying.

Lufthansa and Gulf Air planes will also be broadcasting live games next season.
