British fans won’t be able to watch the broadcast of the Clásico featuring FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, scheduled for Saturday at 4:15 PM.
There won’t be a Spanish league Clásico on British TV this weekend. Why? This is due to a law in place since 1960 and expected to continue until 2029, which prohibits British television channels from broadcasting football matches on Saturdays between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM local time.
This regulation aims to promote stadium attendance by encouraging supporters to travel to packed venues during Premier League matches. This explains why stadiums are consistently full.
The time difference means that the kick-off will be at 3:15 PM in England, preventing the broadcast of the match.
