    That would make no sense. They bought the rights to specifically show 3pm Saturday games.

    There still is three 3pm games in the fixtures.
    Would they not show them, unless they're trying to get showing some of the games that got moved for box office.

    There are world wide contracts too, this could go the way of China refusing to pay outstanding payments. Is this EPL bubble going to burst? Me for one cannot see how these EPL clubs are still spending as normal and their incomes must be hit? How does this work with the Financial fair play?

    Premier Sports looks to have announced this morning their games.

    Nice to see more games than the usual 3pm Sat fixtures.

    Them having 3 extra PPV games is unexpected. Good to see!

    Strange - anybody order a PPV game on Box Office in ROI?

    They still appear available to order, oddly enough. Wonder if refunds will be offered to Sports Extra customers who ordered.

    Could this be compensation for the exclusive rights to 3pm games that they lost last season during the summer? As in will these extra games only be for a few weeks and could they then just go back to having the 3pm kick off? Hopefully not.

    Hi does anyone know if the premier player/app is available for download/register to ROI customers or is it only UK customers? We have the premier sports pack as part of a bundle with BT & Sky Sports.


    Really sucks premier sports not on the sky go app so I was thinking registering for the premier sports player would be a handy way around this but looks like its just for UK customers.

    Oh it is as well. Jeez I was confused lol



    Yeah it's a shame no la liga on sky go especially with el clasico today but I can live without la liga. That's pretty sweet...I kept thinking only sky sports and BT channels was on sky go.

    Of you're looking for the Premier Sport channels on the sky go app you need to search for it on "All Channels". For some reason its not listed in the Sports category. At least not on mine anyway

    Strange hissing noise when Premier Sport moves across to their own commentary team for their live EPL games.

    Remember Setanta having it too

    Premier Sport have a had a lot of signal issues during matches recently. I had to laugh when I saw someone on Twitter refer to it as the Back Soon channel.

    i wonder are they running out of money? they initial investment from the ex setanta sell off must have worn out now so all cash spent on sports rights means less investment on tech

    The cost of the Pro14 deal while it was off line due to Covid probably didn’t help. It’s probably Premier Sports biggest U.K. rights purchase and one which requires them to produce 3-4 games per round on top of the rights fee itself. I know they dumped Sunset and Vine and brought the production in house from late last season, apparently to save money.

    Be surprised if they renew their Pro14 deal, or at least if they don't come in with significantly reduced terms.

    I hope Premier Sports doesn't renew the Pro14 deal.
    As a soccer fan I hate European football taking a back seat to Dragons vs Lions or whatever they call themselves.

    I would rather watch grown men taking the knocks (and giving them) while still playing on instead of over-paid snowflakes dropping to the ground from imaginary tackles :)
