The United Kingdom Premier League is looking at repackaging the sale of its television rights to screen live matches in Europe to mitigate the impact of the 2011 European Court of Justice ruling in the so-called 'pub landlady' case on its lucrative income.

Richard Scudamore, chief executive, said on the 20 March 2012 that the Premier League may abandon the sale of its rights on a country-by-country basis and sell them across Europe instead.
