I live in Germany and since the El Clasico yesterday, there were multiple News around that the british people can not watch the game because of the blackout rule.
I never heard of it before, therefore i thought maybe its 1 weekend in the season. But as i clicked through some english articles about it, it seems the rule is every weekend.
Can anybody confirm if the rule is for every weekend? If yes, you basically never watch those 3pm games at saturday on tv? Its really weird for me that you cant watch them
Yep, every week, every season. IIRC since the blackout runs until 5:15, when they used to air Italian Serie A matches that kicked off at 5 they’d just miss the first 15 mins and start at 5:15 anyway. Must’ve been really annoying!
