BBC Scotland has secured a deal to show Scottish league highlights for the next four years.
The contract - believed to be worth about £2.7million each season - is worth almost double the previous agreement.
Scottish Professional Football League chairman Ralph Topping had previously warned the BBC the organisation would not accept the same deal, citing the major disparity with the public broadcaster's payments to England's Premier League.
The deal will continue Sportscene's Sunday night coverage as well as internet clips and live radio commentary.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "Everyone at the SPFL is delighted that our long-standing partnership with BBC Scotland has been extended by another four years in this new and significantly improved deal for both parties.
"During the process of negotiating with the BBC, the SPFL board has been very robust and clear in its view of what we believe Scottish football coverage is worth and we are pleased that this has been taken on board and reflected by an improved agreement.
"As part of that we're also delighted that supporters will see enhanced match coverage which we'll provide to the BBC as part of the new contract."
BBC Scotland's head of sport, Ewan Angus, added: "BBC Scotland's main aim was to provide supporters with improved coverage while also ensuring we get value for money for everyone who pays the licence fee.
"We firmly believe this new deal will benefit Scottish football as a whole by enhancing Sportscene's match highlights through increased camera provision and also allowing us to offer footage for fans on social media."
Sky Sports and BT Sport have contracts to show live SPFL football until 2020.
