Super Sunday is Sky Sports' flagship live association football programme, broadcasting live Premier League football on most Sundays over the course of a season. The main live game will typically kick off at 4:30 pm, often following a 2:00 pm game, on the Sky Sports Premier League channel.

It had been presented since its debut in August 1992 by former TV-am host Richard Keys alongside a variety of guest match pundits until January 2011. From the 2005–06 season, former Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp joined Keys as a regular pundit. The commentary team of Martin Tyler and former Scotland striker Andy Gray became synonymous with Sky's football coverage, although other commentators were also used. Gray was sacked in January 2011 ‘unacceptable and offensive behaviour’[1] and in April 2011 former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was confirmed as his replacement. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher joined in 2013.[2]
