Last year, the party committed to widen public access to major sports events, which is more available to watch without membership TV packages. It states that it advocates a similar approach to a similar approach to a one taken in Spain, where La Liga should offer fans a free game a week after a change in law in 2022.
Max Wilkinson MP, Lib Dame spokesperson for culture, media and Sport said: “I am urging all the stripes MPs to tear the Pewall and make the Premier League Games available for free air channels.
“For a very long time, the jewel in the crown of British football has been closed behind an expensive barrier that keeps fans out, lining the broadcast pockets.
“Should end today-with a free-to-air revolution that gives the premiere league back to the country.”
A spokesperson of the Department of Culture, Media and Sports Department said: “The government has no plans to review the events listed.”
The Premier League refused to comment.
The law has now reached the report stage in the House of Commons.
Last month, a similar amendment was made at the committee’s phase.
At that time, Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock said: “The regime of listed events has protected major moments like FA Cup finals, while ensuring that the Premier League, EFL and FA are capable of raising billions of pounds annually, which are invested back to the pyramids.
“We want to see all the more matches free-aircraft television, but it should be balanced against that investment and not at risk … It would not be appropriate for the regulator to intervene in commercial decisions between relevant broadcasters and rights holders.”
Analysis of Lab Dames’ claim membership prices shows that fans of the next season will have to pay £ 660 per year to watch each available Premier League game.
Last month, it was revealed that the Premier League television viewing figures were 10% below the last season on the main live rights-holder Sky Sports, while TNT Sports had reduced its year-on-year figures by 17%.
