A total of 60 games a season will be shown and the League could also agree a deal for a highlights package.
Sky intends to broadcast live matches on Saturday evenings along with some games on Friday evening and Sunday afternoons.
The deal brings new hope to a number of financially-crippled clubs who were left facing a bleak future after the collapse of the ITV Digital television deal.
