All England national team football games to be aired on freeview television
Rejected

What the petition asks
After a successful World Cup, it appears that England games will now all be on Sky Sports including friendlies with their games against Spain & Switzerland to be aired on the 8th & 11th of September.
Every household in the UK who pays for a TV license as well as endless amounts of tax, should be able to watch their national football team at no extra cost. Gareth Southgate has spoken about fans engaging more with the team after a successful World Cup. Now is the perfect time to ensure ALL England games are viewable to every person in the country. Inspire the next generation!
