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

They will be taking the NBC feed for some reason.

The scorecard is also the NBC scorecard complete with US ads.

It is the full NBC presentation with NBC half-time crew too.

Can anyone explain to me why at the start of the Bournemouth v West Ham game on sky (the Premier league summer series) it said on the screen 'this game can only be viewed by people in the United States?'.

Yes was wondering about the US ads,that explains it. It makes sense keep the costs down I guess

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

I prefer the NBC onscreen scorecard apart from the ad that's tagged onto the end of the right hand side as it's clearer

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

Interesting but not enough to persuade me to sub to yet another app

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

Will Disney+ get first picks?

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

Nothing confirmed yet, but news outlets are reporting the NFL will be back on sky this coming season. Channel 5 will also be showing live games on Sundays at 6 pm and 9pm.

The season kicks off with a thrilling opener as Valencia CF hosts Real Sociedad at the iconic Mestalla Stadium, live on Disney+ from 8:30pm UK time.

No indication of first pick. They'll use their ESPN team for coverage.

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

ESPN coverage vs LaLigaTV will be interesting. LaLigaTV tend to do extended broadcasts.

According to https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/disney...eal-confirmed/

Disney+ gets exclusive Saturday primetime matches, while Premier Sports keeps hold of over 340 matches per season as the main broadcaster.

Disney+ kicks off their exclusive Saturday evening coverage this weekend with Valencia CF hosting Real Sociedad at 8:30pm.

Next week brings some serious heavyweight action – newly promoted Levante UD taking on current champions FC Barcelona, followed by RCD Mallorca versus Real Madrid on 30th August.

These aren’t throwaway fixtures either. Disney+ has secured the Saturday evening slot specifically designed to showcase LaLiga’s biggest teams without clashing with Premier League coverage.

That means regular appearances from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid – exactly the matches most UK fans want to watch.

Meanwhile, Premier Sports keeps everything else – over 340 matches per season including El Clásico encounters that don’t fall on Saturday evenings, plus Copa del Rey coverage and Spain’s Segunda División.

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

So interested fans will have to buy two subs to watch.

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

You could just buy one sub and get everything and more.. if you know you know ;)
