Why URC matches on Premiersports UK but not Premiersports Ireland?

[Mick1113]

Why do Premiersports advertise broadcasting all URC matches when in fact they only show a few of the matches in Ireland on Premiersports. Adding the Skysports Extra package seems like a waste of money! 

They seem to show them all on Premiersport UK though.. which is ridiculous as Irish teams are in the URC and not English teams? Yes I know Wales and Scotland are in the URC, but you get my point.

Rte and Tg4 have the irish rights for URC, Premier Sports have the UK rights.

If premier sports are advertising that they have all the rights to it, then you should complain direct to them (they are not connected to sky in any way)

You could also complain to the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland if you believe it is false advertising

Premier Sports Ireland does show all URC matches. Of the 8 matches from this weekend, they showed 6 of them on TV and 2 of them on their app.

Of those 8 matches, 3 were also available on a free-to-air basis - 2 matches on RTE and 1 match on TG4.

The 2 matches not shown on PS Ireland TV channels were Lions v Edinburgh and Bulls v Ulster on Saturday. A live 3pm Premier League match was shown on PS1 and a live LaLiga match was shown on PS2.

Premier Sports Ireland customers get live UEFA Champions League and Europa League football - as well as live Premier League.  UK viewers do not.

The channel has different rights for UK when compared to Ireland - so you have to expect some differences at times.

I don't think that Ireland has access to the online stuff which has lots of extra content including more live programming. I'm not sure if the app works though in Ireland.
