The addition of half-time player or manager interviews and in-match interviews with managers or substituted players are also coming to domestic coverage from TNT and Sky Sports.
Premier League teams will have to allow broadcasters access to one of the new enhancements at least twice per season.
However, clubs will be able to deny access to their dressing rooms if they are losing - as outlined in Section K of the league's latest handbook.

Broadcasters must request enhanced access at least five days before the match they want it for, identifying what kind of access they would prefer.
