Rio Ferdinand's testimonial to be shown live on BT Sport

BT Sport will air Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand's testimonial live via their television channels, as well as online streams.

The 34-year-old, who is a BT Sport ambassador, will lead a United side against Sevilla at Old Trafford on August 9, just a few days before the Red Devils mark the start of their campaign with a FA Community Shield clash against Wigan Athletic.

As well as broadcasting live, BT Sport have reached an agreement with Streamworks International to air the match to 170 countries via Riotestimonial.com.

"Manchester United is a unique club with fans in every corner of the globe so I am delighted that my testimonial is going to be so widely available to all of the club's supporters in so many countries," said Ferdinand.

"It is going to be a fantastic and fun evening and there will be famous sporting faces and celebrities popping up all over the place, so it should be an incredible night."

UK viewers will be able to watch the live stream for free.

So I wouldn`t be able to get a viewing card from BT and watch it on my freeview box or freeview tv then?

No, you have to have BT Vision and use a Vision+ box to get it on DTT.

Ah yes the Sky fixtures and those I won't be seeing as I won't be paying for BT even if VM get it...

Unless is for two quid on the XL package!!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Dundee Utd vs partick..at this rate, I'll be paying Bt sport to take the channel off the air :D

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

It was fair enough as part of XL pack on ESPN but not worth extra at least not to me...

A man can dream. :) Frankly I'd accept one place and one goal above the relegation slots right now. Would be great to stay up longer than one season for once! In Ollie we trust, eh? COYP.
