All English Premier League games will now be broadcast live across MENA by host broadcaster for the region, beIN Sports.
At the risk of repeating myself ALL this w/es 3.00 kos will be shown live on beIN Sports. ALL of them, football presenter Richard Keys tweeted.
Subscribers have been limited to watching just one game in the 3pm (6pm local time) kick-off matches since November last year after beIN Sports failed to comply with rules set out by the Premier League. The broadcasts from beIN Sports were believed to be widely pirated in the UK, despite beINs efforts to improve encryption, so the EPL put an end to live broadcasts of all but one of the 3pm kick-offs in the region.
Nasser Al Khelaifi, Chairman and Chief Executive of beIN Sports said in a statement We are delighted to resume live broadcast of all Saturday 18:00 Mecca time games on beIN Sports channels.
The English Premier League is a primary property and we are very happy to bring back this weekend excitement to our millions of subscribers in the region.
BeIN Sports owns the television rights for the English Premier League for 23 countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. The TV network secured the rights from MP & Silva, who bought the rights for three years from the Premier League for close to $300 million, trumping the previous rights holders, Abu Dhabi Media.
