WHY ARE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAMES NOT ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO AND BBC THIS SEASON?

Posted on by Leave a comment

THE Champions League is back, but if you were expecting to catch games on Amazon Prime Video and free-to-air highlights on the BBC you’ll be disappointed.

Yes, you are right in thinking that Prime Video won the rights to show some live Champions League games while the BBC secured a highlights agreement as part of a new UK TV deal confirmed by UEFA earlier in the summer.

BUT the new deal won’t kick in from until the 2024-25 season, so this campaign and next year’s will see Champions and Europa League live matches and highlights all on BT Sport under the same arrangements as last season’s.

Even from then BT Sport has retained the bulk of Champions League live rights with Amazon showing the first pick Tuesday night game from each round of fixtures – 17 games in all when the new expanded format for the competition kicks in from 2024-25.

The BBC will screen a Wednesday night highlights programme through the deal and will also have highlights of the final.

Apart from the Amazon Tuesday night first pick game, BT has bagged all other matches as well as the Europa and Europa Conference League competitions under the new rights.

ARE THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES ON THE SKY RED BUTTON?

Posted on by Leave a comment

THERE’S a full midweek round of Championship fixtures for Tuesday, November 1 and Wednesday, November 2 – with all games available on Sky either on the main channels or the red button.

Sky’s contract with the EFL for live TV rights allows them to show games they’ve not selected as their main channel matches for full midweek rounds. Sky have Bristol City v Sheffield United and Norwich v QPR as their main matches getting the full Sky Sports coverage with more limited coverage of Luton v Reading on the Sky Sports Arena channel.

All others will have single-camera coverage with no replays on Sky Sports’ red button and app.

ITV 4 will have highlights on Wednesday night from 10.30pm.

Goals and key moments from the Championship will also be shown as they happen on Soccer Special on Sky Sports News.

The Championship midweek games are available to watch live via clubs’ official websites for a fee – these feature more camera angles and replays than the red button coverage.
