[EXTRACT]

The list of protected sports events is divided into Group A (including the Olympics, Grand National, FA Cup Final and The Derby) and Group B (including Cricket Test Matches played in England, Six Nations Rugby Matches involving Home Countries, Ryder Cup and The Commonwealth Games).

For Group B sports events, Ofcom is consulting on what is “acceptable alternative coverage”. At the moment, free-to-air highlights or delayed coverage amounting to at least 10% of the scheduled duration of the event are deemed acceptable.

The current rules allow pay TV rights holders to order free-to-air highlights to be delayed until a period has elapsed following the scheduled conclusion of the event.

Streaming-only coverage

Currently highlights have to be scheduled on a traditional linear broadcast channel.

In the future, it’s proposed that streaming services like the BBC iPlayer and ITVX will be able to screen the highlights, either on a streaming-only or streaming-first basis.

Following an industry call for evidence, Ofcom will decide on the exact rules, which will be put to a wider public consultation in 2025.
