So the new season starts this weekend and in particular on Friday night ( UK time ) Saturday morning ( NZ time )

It appears that the opening game Sheffield Wednesday v Southampton isn’t being shown live or anywhere over the weekend as well as the customary 3pm KO’s of the Saturday programme…

All there is are replays after replays of the Women’s World Cup games ….

I await with baited breath to see any updates from Sky over the next few days

Roll on the football season

The Premier League actually starts next weekend. Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton is in the Championship and Bein Sports Connect have that. Unfortunately it's now another subscription to get that for this season as they ended their deal with Sky from 1 August. They have also picked up the UEFA competitions (CL, Europa and Conference League) after Spark Sport closed. It's $14.99 a month or $129.99 for 12 months. There's a discount for Sky Sport subscribers for $12.99 for the first 6 months or $119.99 for 12 months (go to login rather than subscribe to see the Sky deal).

Annoying to need an extra subscription for UEFA competitions as I'd assumed Sky would pick them up from Spark, but I suppose it's still better than $25 for Spark on top of Sky last season. I'll probably just do the monthly deal closer to the the time the CL starts then cancel once my team (Arsenal) are out as nothing else I'd bother watching on it.

Gutted and bloody frustrated at this news , not surprised at the way Sky have approached this … it’s the latest nail in the coffin

I’m sorted anyway with my feeds direct from the UK with Sky Sport , TNT Sports and numerous other feeds from across the globe thanks to my trusted and much cheaper Smartbox

As my team (Southampton) are out of the Prem this year, I have jumped ship to beIN Connect for the $12.99 a month deal.

I'll be ditching Sky Sport as soon as the WWC is over (although it looks like there's a fair few games to come on FTA TV/streaming anyway).

I'll be saving money on the whole deal and getting more footy, so I'm relatively happy.

As a (Dutch) Eredivisie fan I was just as gutted with the split from BeIN. Never fear, I thought, I'll get a BeIN subscription but turns out they no longer have Eredivisie coverage rights (for this part of the world anyway).

Eredivise website still has Sky Sport listed as the broadcaster for NZ. No mention of Eredivisie on Sky's guide in the near future and a question I posted to their social media chat was referred to 'the correct team', who are obviously far too busy to reply to a long-paying customer becasue that was two weeks ago and I haven't heard a peep.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

I hope Sky are a bit faster at getting replays loaded up on demand this season. Having to wait until late morning to watch a 3am game I'd forgotten to record got a bit frustrating.

Well how about that, (following a nudge from me yesterday) they have just got back to me

Sky social media chat:

...our team have confirmed that we will have 4 game per week and a weekly highlights package. Information on specific games can now be found in our TV Guide,

I'm chuffed.

Don’t wait, just go to the TV Guide and select from there, you can watch at anytime for 24 hrs after the match has played and if it’s later than that, they’ll have the replay up anyhow

Now I love a good Sky bashing session but in this instance there was nothing they could do. BeIn Sports who own the rights simply declined to offer it to Sky, preferring to offer it via their own streaming platform instead. The same thing happened in Australia with Foxtel and Kayo also losing all of the BeIn content.

This doesn't work for Sky Go though right?

Is sky putting replays and highlights on skygo this year? Can't see anything there from the first round?
If it is there it's in a different location to last year and I can't find it

If you go to Browse-Sports there is a Premier League section which has all the highlights and replays for this season.
