Wales’ top tier, formed in 1992, has been revamped for its 35th edition with games predominantly switching to Friday evenings.

The number of clubs has been increased from 12 to 16 with the promotion of Llandudno, Airbus UK, Holywell Town, Trefelin BGC, Cambrian United and Ammanford.

Jack Sharp, FAW head of domestic leagues, said: “I am delighted to welcome the BBC back to Welsh domestic football through this new three-year partnership.

“This agreement represents another significant step in growing the profile of the Novira Cymru Premier, enabling us to reach more supporters across Wales and the wider UK through increased free-to-air coverage.

“By doubling our free live broadcast offering compared to last season, we have created a comprehensive broadcasting portfolio where Cymru Football TV and free-to-air coverage work together to serve different audiences.

“Whether supporters choose to watch every match through Cymru Football TV or enjoy selected fixtures on free-to-air television, more people than ever before will have the opportunity to connect with our clubs and competitions.

“The BBC’s commitment to Welsh domestic football will play an important role in increasing awareness of the league, attracting new audiences, and supporting our wider ambition to continue growing the game.”
