End 3PM TV Blackout for Premier League games on Saturdays.

End 3PM TV Blackout for Premier League games on Saturdays. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Get rid of the TV Blackout of Premier League games on Saturdays meaning people cannot watch games that start between 2.45pm - 5.15pm.

Additional details

Since the 60s the UK have had a 3pm TV blackout for Premier League football games on Saturday. I believe this is a silly rule and makes no sense. Why can America for instance watch English premier league games when we cannot? It’s ridiculous and in my view should be dropped. People who want to watch smaller league games will and those who cannot or do not want to shouldn’t be punished. All this rule does is give more money to Illegal streaming platforms and hacked Firesticks.
