The BBC has secured radio rights for the Premier League matches for another three years until the end of the 2021-22 season.
BBC Radio 5 live will offer about 140 games per season, more than any other broadcaster.
The station will also be the only place to listen to Premier League games on a Sunday at 14h and 16h30.
The BBC will also have the first choice of Saturday's match at 3 pm, as well as Friday, Saturday and Monday night games.
"Live radio coverage of the Premier League is a key element of the BBC's audience offer for football fans," said BBC Sport director Barbara Slater after the BBC secured four of the seven packages offered.
"The quality of our production, commentary, badysis and presentation is second to none and we are extremely proud of it."
Match of the Day has already signed a contract to show the highlights of the Premier League at least until the 2021-22 season.
The BBC Sport website has live commentary on all matches.
You can listen to BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC 5 Live Sports Extra on BBC Sounds, digital radio, online at bbc.co.uk/5live, on TNT, Sky, Freesat, Virgin Media and 909 & 693 AM.
