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.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
