Hi there,

I haven't been able to watch the La Liga channel on Saturdays from 15:15 to 17:15.

Could you help me with this please.

Thanks

Hi @jlopezit 

This will be due to the blackout of football from 2.45pm to 5:15pm on Saturdays.

The ruling that has been in place since the 1960s, it prohibits live football from being shown in England between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturdays  due to the fear that showing top flight football in that time slot would lead to smaller attendances at lower league stadiums.
