Eleven Sport - La Liga & Serie A Coverage

cafc4life

So Eleven sport have the packages for Spanish and Italian football from this season. Does anyone know if there will be a purchasable channel on sky for this Mob or is it online only? Seems fairly stupid if that's the case, and I'd imagine would mean a drop in U.K. Viewing figures of these leagues as not everyone wants to watch things on a laptop or phone .

Streaming service I believe. But you don't have to watch it on your phone! Your TV would do fine, like Netflix or Prime. The question is how much?

You have to have a smart tv though right?

Yes, or a current games console and use the browser on that.

Otherwise laptop + HDMI cable for TV viewing I think.

Chromecast and Apple TV? Some people seem to say it's working via those already, others say it doesn't. If not available yet, should be added in the coming weeks apparently

Previously mentioned a bit here

It definitely isn’t compatible with Chromecast yet, but it’s pretty good. Feel like the big networks have got a bit complacent with the big overseas leagues so looking forward to seeing what Eleven can do with them.

After failing to sell on the Spanish and Italian rights to either BT or Sky like they were hoping, Eleven Sports are now looking to renegotiate the deal.

Meanwhile UFC have pulled out of their deal with Eleven Sports which was due to start in January.

I thought competition was meant to be good for the consumer.......

MrLargo

Lost the broadcasting rights to 2/3rds of their offering.
Reduced their monthly subscription fee from £5.99 to £4.99

Suspect La Liga will be back on Sky next year. Certainly hope so.

So Premier Sports are already putting a game on there freeview channel Free Sports which is good for Freeview viewers

Juventus v Parma live tomorrow

SheffieldRed

As is the Napoli game
They are putting a fair bit free this weekend, PSV, Feyenoord and the Lisbon derby are all free. On a different platform, a lot second division Spanish football seems free to watch.
