THERE’S GOOD NEWS for Spanish soccer fans with a new standalone La Liga channel, broadcasting every game from the league, set to become available in Ireland in the coming months.
Premier Sports have announced a new three-year partnership with LaLigaTV, a channel that carries all games live from the top level of Spanish club soccer.
A full schedule of live action from Matchday 4 (13-15 September) and Matchday 5 (20-22 September) will be aired on Premier Sports 1 and 2 HD channels in the UK.
LaLigaTV will later join the Premier Sports bundle on Sky TV by January 2020. That’s the only platform on which it will be available to Irish customers.
“We are thrilled to be announcing this truly unique and game-changing agreement with LaLiga that signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Spanish football in the UK,” stated Richard Sweeney, CEO Premier Sports.
“We are extremely proud to be partnering with LaLiga to begin broadcasting the world’s greatest league to UK and Ireland viewers on Premier Sports and via the soon to be launched LaLigaTV channel.”
With the warm-up games out of the way, Murray, Bernard and Gavan discuss the renewed cause for optimism, impressive individual player form, and a potential quarter-final versus either South Africa or New Zealand.

As if the Sky Spots subscription couldn’t get any better, they go and roll out this beauty! You’ve got Netball, Horse AND Water Polo, Badminton Super League, Horse Eventing, and now the Chinese Premiership? Where will it end in this Sporting Universe? The European Dodgeball Champions League?
In fairness the European Dodgeball league would be entertaining!!
They have live fishing aswell
Ahh lads, the pinnacle of Sky Sports broadcasting is Pro Kabaddi!! You won’t see action like that on any other channel!!
No, the pinnacle is the ridiculous Legends Indoor Football League they show every summer. Just a load of ex cloggers playing a game of slow five a side. The decision to go 24 hours with Sky Sports in 1995 was a joke.
Funny you mention dodgeball Dave :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uWII-zlVZI4
And don’t forget the 5 D’s of Dodgeball – Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and …. Dodge!
Don’t forget Pro Karbaddi League in India
Are you on a 24 tape delay Ollie? :P
*24 hour*
I dream of a world where The Journal/The 42 has an edit button…
I’d rather watch MLS and that’s shíte
How do you know it’s shxte? You’ve never watched it!
Well you will have 2 good foreign players per team and 9 chinese lads , what ya think it will be??
As if we didn’t have enough money grabbing mercenaries getting air time,this Chinese league is the greatest circus of all
Sky Sports are a bigger shower of eejits for jumping on this ridiculous bandwagon.
Great spot to offload all those money grabbing rejects.
@Gerry
Be honest,you’d grab it yourself if you could.
Would of course
Ill I need is enough money to pay for family and tax and a little bit more and Ill be grand :)
Shanghai Greenland? Seriously?
Ho lee fuk!
The Chinese , great bunch of lads.. love a good kung po but can the play ball?
“Hulk and Gervinho”…doesn’t exactly get the heart racing, does it?
Joke of a league why did sky sports even bother get this. They should have took a punt at the league of ireland instead of that
The League of Ireland is crap.
Sky are probably getting paid by the Chinese to show the games as opposed to buying the rights. China seems hell bent on promoting their league.
Imagine an organisation being ‘hell bent’ on promoting and selling there own product!! The cheek of them.
Can’t wait boys
God you guys don’t understand sarcasm
If the time zone isn’t crazy different I might watch it.
Wouldn’t pick the boys in Fifa never mind watching them in real life
