It will be free to air on social media apparently, so some kind of facebook or youtube stream from BT.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

it should be on itv. barely anyone watches it now.

Its been reported that they wont make British teams play home games at 6pm, but away games are likely, even probable.

If it means getting back into the UK 2 hours earlier thats fine by me. But its going to mean 2 hours less drinking time which might not go down too well with many day trippers. Especially if we have to queue for our ticket.

Surprised at this. I thought Sky would've gone balls out for CL football.

Sure there was an article about Sky not getting much back off the UCL tv package.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Is this just for English clubs and seperate from UEFA's CL money and TV rights?

For the tv rights in the UK.

Not sure if Europa league is included.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

And they've taken over the Ookla speed test the twats, is no institution safe!!!

This is bad news,their coverage is bias at best awful at worse,Sky are bad but this lot...

 

[Why Always Ste]

Ah well, more significant matches which won't be seen by the same audience volumes which saw the likes of Rags in '99 Dippers in' 05 and so on.

People won't even be aware of a English club winning this once prestigious tournament.

Money before prestige.

I still have my broadband with BT but refuse to subscribe to their TV package as they are rag bastards.

Wish I lived in a cabled area so I could move from BT
