Petition Action

Stop Saturday 3pm blackouts in the premier league.

Petition Details

Stop the premier league from putting a football TV airing ban at 3pm on a Saturday.

Additional Information

Studies have shown that banning the “blackout” would not have a negative impact on attendance at games, therefore, people who physically can’t watch these games as they for example don’t have the money for a ticket, live in a different country, broke their leg etc. Can still watch the games on a Saturday at 3pm on the TV.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about when to hold and broadcast football matches are a matter for the FA, the Premiere League and the Football League, and broadcasters not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
