The SPFL has invited broadcasters to bid for UK rights to show Scottish Premiership matches from the 2029-30 season.
Its current five-year, £150 million deal with Sky Sports, which allows up to 60 live games a season, runs until the end of 2028-29. Premier Sports can also show up to 22 top-flight games each season.
The league said it was flexible about how many matches are shown live in future.
Chief executive Neil Doncaster said strong broadcast partnerships were essential to a balanced income for the SPFL and its clubs, and that he expected strong interest.
A separate Premier Sports deal for the Scottish League Cup runs until at least the end of 2030-31 and is not affected.
