Premier Sports Cup rebrand confirmed by SPFL

THE Scottish League Cup has officially been rebranded.

Previously known as the Premier Sports Cup, the trophy will now be called the Viaplay Cup.

The change of name comes after Viaplay’s recent acquisition of Premier Sports.

This season's semi-finals of the tournament will be played in January 2023. 

Celtic take on Kilmarnock at Hampden on January 14, while Rangers face Aberdeen a day later.

The final of the competition is set for Sunday, February 26 next year.

Both semis, and the final, will be broadcasted exclusively live on Viaplay.

Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive: “Everyone at the SPFL is thrilled to be working with our new title cup sponsor Viaplay. This Cup has been a success for many years and Viaplay’s coverage and support of this competition until at least 2026/27 is very welcome indeed.

"We are looking forward to the exciting Viaplay Cup semi-finals in January and the final in February - all games which can be watched live and exclusively on Viaplay."

Viaplay will show Viaplay Cup football until at least the end of the 2026/27 season.

Scottish fans can also enjoy the Scottish Cup on Viaplay and follow the Scotland men’s national team in the qualifiers for Euro 2024, FIFA World Cup 2026 and Euro 2028, as well as UEFA Nations League and friendly matches.
