How much does it cost to watch Leicester City on television in other countries? Have you ever thought of that?

The Premier League is the most renowned football division in the world. But one might not know about their own country’s pricing schemes.

Astonishingly, England is the costliest country to catch all Premier League games annually. Then there is the additional trouble of the UK’s football TV blackout rule. It prevents live football matches from being televised between 2.45 pm and 5.15 pm on Saturday afternoons.

I think that’s unfair. Mainly because if you cannot follow your team – then what’s the point of having subscriptions at such exorbitant rates?

We are past that point when catching games was not possible. Now with the availability of virtual private networks (VPNs), everyone is limitless. It’s easy to catch a live match on a trusted streaming platform in another country.

Cutting down costs, many ardent fans have adopted such universal methods. Plus, it is not illegal, unlike the dodgy streams you are forcing yourself to watch, compensating your experience with compromised commentary and quality.
