Seemingly - the EPL will return on Jun 19, or thereabouts


17th June - just announced

Last game was on March 9th


Only 92 games to be played

Behind closed doors - and on TV



All 92 games to be shown live.

Usual broadcasters, including Amazon Prime.


Sky will show 25 games free!

For the first time, the Premiership will be live on terrestrial - BBC.


The FA Cup Final on 1st August.

Yes - God has provided another lockdown¡





When the contracts end, I can see a turnaround on the broadcasting rights. I wouldn't be surprised if a Freeview channel bought a small package on some games. I don't know what the interest is for European leagues such for example Primeira Liga - but Freesports have bought some rights for Primeira Liga.

Green Man They were good days.

Just let the customers watch the TV or projector screen whilst we just wait for half time.
Barney Undoubtedly - a new football era awaits, and planning has begun between elite teams. But there will be casualties:-


1. Fans. Most top EPL teams now have virtually no home match tickets to sell - and will have less!

2. Domestic leagues will be badly affected by their top clubs departing - for the new competition.

3. Because of the travel requirement, European football will almost become a reality TV program.


As you say GM, pubs will benefit - just like they did when Sky introduced the 4pm kick-off, on a Sunday afternoon.
