Petition Action

Get rid of the Saturday 3pm football blackout.

Petition Details

They should raise the blackout and allow football to played on tv at 3pm. The blackout doesn’t have a massive effect on increasing attendance in physical games. At least raise for premier league fixtures since everyone would want to attend the games in person anyway.

Additional Information

It is unfair for fans in other parts of the uk to have an embargo on football on 3pm on Saturdays. This leads to pirating. Furthermore, people from Edinburgh or any other city are not always going to travel to Southampton or somewhere far to watch a game. It costs the consumer more all in all.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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