 Yeah i don't think there be any on FTA like they were during project restart at best they be shown via subscription channel at worse they won't be shown at all (although this seems unlikely)


I would guess they would be shown as part of the usual BT and Sky Sports subs as they were before the first international break ?

Let me correct you there, you chose to pay for, as Box Office is optional and no one is forced to purchase them

You had a choice not to pay which is what the majority of people have been doing while making thousands for charity. And while you are free to cancel if the Premier League returns these games to the BT and Sky Sport packages after the international break which appears they might well do, you will be unable to view them.

Re: Pay per view charges for football are disgraceful.

I too have been a SkyTV and Sky Sports subscriber for sometime  and to want to charge £14.95 per game to watch live football matches is an absolute disgrace. Yes we are all  in this together to man the trenches and defeat this terrible pandemic but to pay back our loyalty  in this way it's just being greedy. Sky should do the right thing and have a rethink on this decision, it is quite frankly daylight robbery.

Please read the thread before posting as everything you have assumed is wrong, Sky and BT are only being use for their broadcasting and payment systems, the Premier League are the ones pulling the strings and making the profit, sky and BT are just covering their costs

It is the Premier League that are having a rethink as their is a vote among the clubs this weeks which might see the pay per view games scrapped. This vot has nothing to do with Sky or the BT as they have no say in what the clubs decide to do with these games.

@f+clarke Not sure how you can claim to have been conned if you willingly purchased any of the PPV games.
