BT Sport to show 20 live Premier League games with season set to restart on Wednesday 17 June. With the return of live Bundesliga, UFC and now the Premier League in June, we can confirm that as a gesture of goodwill we will also be offering customers a further bill credit to the value of 50% of their BT Sport monthly subscription.

Hopefully VM will still be able to offer a months credit in line with the BT offering

No I mean to the rest of us who don't have a subsription. It would be odd that they don't unless BT aren't offering games for free?

Amazon Prime services (next day delivery, Music, etc.) are only available to those who subscribe- why should anything else be free?

As well as Freesports showing 2 live Polish games per week they have also said they'll be showing 3 per round of live Portuguese football.

I only wondered because I thought the Premier league had said ALL games would be free to air?

That link was broken as one character was missing.
Here's it with it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_(TV_channel)

Pick is available on all major UK TV platforms (Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media).

There isn't a HD version on any of them.

Premier League games are set to be broadcast free-to-air as part of Project Restart with the government targeting a mid-June restart.

Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, confirmed the government's push for some matches to be available freely with subscription services BT Sports and Sky Sports the other broadcasters of Premier League games

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
As per my earlier post #970 BT are offering their subscribers 50% off as a gesture of goodwill.

The bad news it doesn't appear that they will be offering any free to air games.
https://advanced-television.com/2020...sumes-june-17/

64 of the remaining fixtures will air on Sky Sports – with 25 of them being free-to-air, including Liverpool vs Everton on the first weekend of resumption. An additional 4 games will he show (sic) for free on BBC, whilst 4 games will also be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. The remaining games will be on BT Sport, who currently have no plans to make any games available for free.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
I don't see why BT should make games available free to air. They bid, in good faith, on the EPL delivering a product. A product they now propose to dilute by putting further games to other broadcasters - both subscription and free to air.
