la liga brags its the most watched international football league in the UK. I'd love to see the figures for that as you can't watch la liga tv on virgin media. not sure if its on sky.

i would have thought serie A or bundesliga would be more popular in the UK considering they're on more subscribed channels??

See https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/tnt-sp...r-league-deal/

The article is incorrect, the offer isn't available on Flex.
When the service was called 'Stream from Virgin Media' there were frequent offers, eg Sky Sports for £18.50pm for 12 months, BT Sport for £10. But that all stopped about a year ago when Flex came in. There are no longer any offer beyond the 10% discount. So Sky Sports HD is just under £35pm and TNT is £22.50.

Over the past week Premier Sports has pick up rights to:

*Eredivisie (Two games per week)
*Argentine Primeria Division
*Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

All we need now is Premier Sports to move into Virgin Media's Family Package.

Does anyone watch these ?
I have no idea what the 1st and 3rd ones even are, and zero interest in the "Argentine Primeria Division".

I like a way your team work in transfer market.

Pay millions for new players then give them away for nothing when they deal is up.

Similar concept to what VM/Premier Sports offered earlier in the year, when the knockout stages of European Rugby restarted.

Only 99 pounds streaming for the year including motor sports LaLiga scottish prem football. Brazillian cup German cup Italian cup S. America world cup qualifiers. If you miss a match can always get on catchup. If its football you want, plenty here.

It's college football which is big in the states and had a following on Sky Sports and previously BT Sports.

Reports say College football and the NFL are two of the most watched sports leagues in the United States.

We (mostly) don’t appreciate how popular College Football is in the States - my son spent his Second Year at University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, which has 38,000 students (out of a total population of 144,000) - the College Football stadium can hold nearly 80,000, and it’s full most games.

I really don't get it at all,why are people interested in this at all? Surely it's amateurs players,lower level skill than our non league teams! But hey if people want to watch it then good luck to them.

Watching the draw for the League Cup on Sky last night I was puzzled as to why Crystal Palace weren't in the pot of teams playing in Europe? Can anyone explain it?

Looking at DAZN's schedule for this coming weekend it seems they are only showing games that ESPN broadcast in the US,
which is a shame as many big matchups through the season will be on other broadcasters networks,
for example the biggest game on Saturday is Texas at Ohio State which DAZN aren't showing.
Luckily I can use my good American friends tv account to view this and other big matchups throughout the coming season and I think £25 a month is way too much for what's on offer given the lack of much other content on the service.

It was mentioned - its because their group matches are not until October, so no potential clash.

On Sky Sports just before the draw was made the presenter said they weren't in that pot because the Conference European League Phase games don't start until October.

Great news for NFL fans.
2 regular season games at 6 pm and 2/3 games at 9 pm on Sky sports ,Thursday night and Monday night games, plus red zone, all playoff games and the Super bowl.
If you add the two games to be shown on Sunday by 5 every week, this all adds up to the best NFL TV coverage ever in this country.
