Sky Sports to show more live La Liga games than ever before

For the first time, Sky Sports will show over 300 live La Liga matches throughout the season with a comprehensive Spanish football offering across its platforms.

 

As part of its unrivalled football schedule, Sky Sports viewers will be able to enjoy more coverage than ever before this season across TV, online and mobile devices.

Viewers can watch all matches outside 3pm Saturday blocked hours every week via Sky Sports TV channels, the red button and Sky’s digital TV channel, Sky Sports Xtra, which is available to customers through skysports.com and the Sky Sports iPad app. 

As well as live games, fans will also be able to keep up to date with the latest news, previews and match reports from the Spanish league on Sky Sports News HQ and across online and social platforms. A dedicated La Liga section on skysports.com includes a transfer news service throughout the season and features in-depth coverage of the big players and top teams.

Fans can also enjoy live interactive commentary for Real Madrid and Barcelona matches while video and audio content will be available every week, including the “Top 5 La Liga Goals” and the La Liga Weekly Podcast. 

Gary Hughes, executive producer of Sky Sports football said: “La Liga is one of the best leagues in the world with incredible players and unmissable matches. The way football fans follow the action is changing and we in Sky Sports are best placed to embrace that with seamless coverage across TV, mobile and online. For the first time, we’ll have over 300 live matches through TV, interactive and digital platforms. It’s going to be a fantastic season.”

Coverage of La Liga is part of Sky Sports’ schedule of football including 116 matches from the Barclays Premier League, 127 matches from the Sky Bet Football League, matches from every round of the Capital One Cup and UEFA Euro 2016 and FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers. 

Non-subscribers can also see the matches without a contract through online TV streaming service NOW TV. By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, they can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.
