Every Saturday during the football season, millions of UK fans face the same frustration: even if you pay over £85 a month for both Sky Sports and TNT Sports, not a single Saturday 3:00 PM Premier League or EFL match is broadcast live on UK television. Here is why the blackout exists and how WavePro TV subscribers watch every Saturday 3PM fixture live in crystal-clear HD and 4K.
What Is the UK Saturday 3PM Football Blackout (Article 48)?
Under UEFA Article 48 rules enforced by the FA, live television broadcasts of any football match are prohibited in the UK between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM on Saturdays. While UK broadcasters are restricted, official English-language international rights holders broadcast every single 3:00 PM Premier League match live with British commentators and studio pundits.
