How do we actually watch this?? It's not on any of the channels but it's already started.

I think BT Tv and BT Sport have dropped it from their schedules but the guides and schedules for BT Sport 3 haven’t been consistently updated.

So for example Bt Sport schedule link on iPad for the game gives me AFL rather than the match.

What does this mean for BT's Ligue 1 coverage??

Normally I would not expect live soccer games on Saturday afternoons from any league between 2:45 and 5:15 due to the blackout rule.

However BT clearly originally scheduled this game so maybe there is another reason it has been pulled.

I'm wondering if the blackout rule is reinstated now fans are allowed back without limit.

@Hunter2660 I believe it has been reinstated as coverage has returned to normal. I'm going to miss every premier league game being televised 😢

The long highlights of the Lyon v Brest game were broadcast in the early hours last night. Apart from poor commentary sound at the start it otherwise seemed OK.

As for the non broadcast of the live game really I do think a proper communication to viewers could and should have been made particularly as it had been promoted on BT sport football twitter feeds ,surely those feeds could have updated viewers.
