Change the black out law for the football
The black outlaw was introduced in the 1960s to encourage people to watch the lower league teams play. It’s now 2025 and I feel we should be able to watch the Premier League without having a blackout if anyone’s interested in the lower league teams they will watch it anyway
I would like to try and scrap the black outlaw in that was introduced in the 1960s to encourage people the lower league teams. I feel like if anyone was gonna watch them, they would do it. I think this law should be scrapped now it’s 2025. Lots of things have changed.

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.
