The Premiership (also known as The Premiership on ITV) is a television programme which showed highlights of the FA Premier League. It was ITV Sport's flagship football show from August 2001 to May 2004. The show was created after the ITV network won a multimillion-pound deal to air Premier League highlights once owned by the BBC. The programme was presented by Des Lynam, with Gabby Logan as a stand-in and Ally McCoist, Ron Atkinson, Terry Venables, Barry Venison and Andy Townsend frequently serving as pundits.
The Premiership ended in 2004, when the rights returned to the BBC from the 2004–05 season.
