It will be a repeat of last summer's final, when Auckland City host Bay United in a televised match on Thursday, November 12, in a 7.35pm at QEB Stadium.
No matches will be televised from Bluewater Stadium, Park Island, during the campaign and Bay United's other two televised matches will be staged before Christmas.
The closest the TV cameras will geographically zoom to the Bay will be at 7.35pm on Thursday, November 26, at Owen Delany Park in Taupo in a round-three clash against WaiBOP United.
In round six on Thursday, December 17, Bay fans will have the last chance to catch their team in a 7.35pm kick-off against Waitakere United at Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland.
The semifinals on March 3 and 6 and the Thursday-night grand final on March 10 will also be shown live.
Angell understands the New Zealand sport broadcaster faces some cost restrictions in getting the gear-lugging trucks around the lower half of the North Island.
Canterbury United will host three televised matches in Christchurch while Southern United have two at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin.
The players will face the challenge of playing at least some portion of the game under floodlights with daylight saving time factored in.
Says Angell: "This is the first time the the game is able to catch some sort of national attention so it's a good stepping stone to moving forward."
NZ Football CEO Andy Martin hailed the deal as a major step in the national body's work raising the code's profile in the country.
"We have repeatedly stated it is our aim to increase the popularity and visibility of football in New Zealand," Martin said.
"To do that we need to successfully link our exceptionally strong grassroots base to the international game. This is where our top-level domestic competition comes in."
"By getting the [premiership] on television regularly, we increase our ability to showcase the pathway available to our players and we can begin to create local heroes for our young players to aspire to on their journey towards the All Whites."
NZ Football commercial director Steve Brebner said they had worked closely with Sky over the last year to develop a partnership which would provide unprecedented access to the code for the football community.
"This broadcast deal will help increase the popularity, profile and visibility of football which will help connect more Kiwis to the game, something which will have a positive impact for all our stakeholders."
Sky director of sport Richard Last said football continued to grow in popularity here and it was excited to televise established and evolving rivalries between cities and regions.
"Showcasing local teams filled with home-grown and imported players on Sky Sport has clear benefits for New Zealand Football and we're excited to be involved," Last said.
Angell said Bay United was still trying to identify their 2015-16 squad before pre-season training begins soon.
"It's an ongoing process to re-engage with last season's players and those who will be new to the group," he says after recruiting mostly non-Bay players last summer.
