BT Sports coverage of UFC

So I heard yesterday that BT will stop showing UFC on Dec 3rd. Anyone know yet if Sky or any other channel in UK and Ireland will show it?? I gues it’s only gonna be possible watch via subscribing to the fight pass and buying the ppv’s.

It says eleven will pick it up in the uk

EDIT: And Ireland too. They are launching 2 channels in August. Price: TBD

Only a matter of time before every numbered PPV is on box office.

I just barely justify subscribing to BT Sport for the UFC and The Premiership, but if they don't come to some arrangement with Eleven then that's me out.

if they go onto sky platform, you will still need to pay them separately like BT I imagine. Hope they allow sky q mini box without additional charges as BT don't.

Eleven doesn't require a separate subscription. It's included with Sky/Virgin, apparently.

With sky sports or sky tv?

Eleven is a sports channel so I'd imagine Sky will bundle it the sports package. I'm not up to speed on their different packages though.

Very good as long as there is a next morning stream available and you can cast from phone.

If they released a standalone app for the PS4 I'd be in.

So do you basically need a smart TV to actually watch it on telly?

Or Chromecast I say.

ELEVEN SPORTS MONTHLY PASS AVAILABLE FOR JUST £5.99 PER MONTH IN UK & €6.99 PER MONTH IN IRELAND

sigh

Chromecasts are buggy unreliable cheap pieces of **** anyway.

So another 7 quid a month now for Eleven? Not as much as I thought but still crap. Will be renegotiating with Sky to knock off the 7 quid since they've lost so much. May even cancel Sky. I only watch the odd footie game on Sky Sports these days.

Although having to go online to watch is a bit of work with no smart TV. If Im going online its to stream for free!

They're not in the slightest.

When casting from an app with proper chromecast functionality it works fine. I used to cast UFC embedded to the TV, just queue them all and it'd play seamlessly.

It's only jittery is you are trying to screen mirror by tab casting, which they say it's beta feature.

That would be a disaster splitting channels. Most people in UK/IRE would most likely record fight nights as the advertisements are a lot heavier and watch later not sure there is great value in me subbing to that when untalkable alternatives are available esp if watching post event.

The Spanish footie on Eleven is already a pain in the arse.

In what way? I haven’t used the app yet but interested to hear how it’s going.
