Unfortunately for football fans, not every game will be shown live on TV in 2021/22, unlike the previous season.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck and fans were unable to attend matches, broadcasters were handed the rights to show every match live on TV – in some cases for free – for the remainder of the 2019/20 campaign.

In 2020/21, matches were staggered at different times to ensure every person could watch every game live on TV.

However, now that fans are allowed back into stadiums across the land, 3pm kick-offs are back, traditional times have returned and fewer games will be shown.

K+ secures Premier League rights in Vietnam

Vietnam’s digital satellite television K+ (K plus) on Friday announced that it had sealed an agreement for exclusive broadcast of the English Premier League (EPL) in the Southeast Asian country for three straight seasons starting 2019.

According to the three-season deal, K+ will exclusively provide coverage of all 380 matches per season across its channels from the 2019-20 to 2021-22 campaigns.

The English Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 countries and territories to 643 million homes and a TV audience of 4.7 billion.

Digital piracy is a big threat to the league, which relies heavily on income from live TV deals.

To watch matches in Vietnam, viewers have to buy K+, a pay TV channel which costs VND1.225 million ($52.7) for installation and a monthly fee of VND125,000 ($5.4), which is considered high by many people in a country where the average income is $215 a month.

K+, which has the Vietnam broadcast rights to many major sports events, has been upgrading its systems and training employees to monitor, detect, prevent, and handle piracy.

In football-crazy Vietnam, digital piracy has been an issue, especially when major global events like the World Cup come around, with hundreds of illegal sites and Facebook pages showing games without permission. Many of the sites are registered overseas, making it difficult for Vietnamese authorities to crack down on them, officials said.
