Make Premier League and Sports Broadcasting More Affordable for UK Residents

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Make sports packages, especially Premier League coverage, more affordable for UK viewers. Prices are too high and many games aren’t shown. The British public should have better access to a sport that originated here and is loved across the nation.

UK fans pay around £73/month for Sky, TNT Sports, and Amazon to watch Premier League games yet not all matches are shown due to the 3pm blackout. In Canada, fans get full access via FuboTV for just £14/month. The Premier League is a British institution, but home fans are priced out. Other countries enjoy more affordable and complete coverage. We urge the Government to investigate pricing, address exclusivity deals, so that football can be watched by more people in the UK, fairly and affordably.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about the affordability of broadcasting packages are a matter for Ofcom.

You could start a new petition to make all football league matches a category A event so they are free-to-air.
