Sky Sports will reintroduce a Sunday media review programme for the 2025/26 Premier League season, marking the return of the format five years after the popular Sunday Supplement was cancelled.
The broadcaster has confirmed plans to launch the new show, which will follow a similar structure to its predecessor with journalists analysing weekend football action and discussing major stories from the sport.
Whilst the programme will not resurrect the Sunday Supplement name, it will maintain the original format that made the show a staple of Sunday morning viewing for two decades.
An official announcement is expected within the coming weeks.

The new programme will centre around reviewing the weekend's matches alongside dissection of major stories from industry insiders, maintaining the format that proved successful throughout the show's original run.
Sky executives have remained tight-lipped about the show's new title, though sources have confirmed it will debut in time for the new season.

The decision follows revelations that the broadcaster had been examining a return for a Sunday Supplement style programme after receiving feedback from viewers who missed the weekly football media review.
The format will see journalists from national newspapers gathering to provide analysis and commentary on Premier League headlines.
The original programme first appeared on screens in 1999 under the title Hold The Back Page before evolving into Sunday Supplement.
Jimmy Hill served as the inaugural presenter, typically hosting discussions alongside three national newspaper journalists who would debate the weekend's football topics.
The show became a Sunday morning tradition for football fans over its 20-year run, providing a platform for respected sports writers to share their opinions on the most pressing stories in the game.
The format established a successful template that Sky Sports now aims to recreate with its upcoming revival.

Jacqui Oatley became the programme's first female presenter in 2020, marking a significant milestone in the show's history.
However, her tenure proved short-lived as Sky cancelled the programme later that year, citing a congested football calendar caused by the coronavirus pandemic's impact on scheduling.
The broadcaster blamed the knock-on effects of COVID-19 for the decision to axe the show after its successful 20-year run.
With the new programme set to launch for the 2025/26 season, Sky Sports appears ready to fill the gap left by Sunday Supplement's absence from weekend football coverage.
