BBC Scotland has agreed a new deal to televise 30 Scottish Championship matches per season and show web-based highlights of second tier games and League 1 and 2 matches.
The existing deal allows the broadcaster to show 20 live Championship games per season.
The weekly highlights program showing action from that division and the third and fourth tiers will be streamed every Monday on the BBC Sport website and app and will begin at the start of the new year.
The new arrangements are an add-on to the deal between the BBC and the Scottish Professional Football League which runs until the end of the 2028-29 season.
BBC Scotland head of commissioning Lewis Thornton said: “It’s great news for viewers that we’ve secured the rights to show more live matches and deliver a new highlights package.
“The BBC Scotland channel has been home to live Championship matches on Friday nights since 2019 and we are delighted that this additional deal with the SPFL allows us to cover even more games from this exciting league.”
Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the SPFL, added: “It’s fantastic to build on our partnership with the BBC to show more live William Hill Championship games.
“The league is renowned for its incredible excitement and drama and having up to 30 games from the William Hill Championship broadcast live every season is great news for Scottish football fans.
“Over the past two seasons, our social media team has done a great job creating an excellent highlight program available on YouTube.
“We’re delighted that BBC Scotland will be taking over the program in the new year. It’s great news for fans who want to see all the best action across our league.”
