Sky has confirmed that the highly anticipated match between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich will not be televised, leaving fans disappointed.
The decision was made due to broadcasting rights issues, which prevent the game from being shown live on their platforms. This comes as a surprise to many, especially given the popularity of both clubs and the widespread interest in this fixture.
Sources indicate that the dispute stems from contractual conflicts over international broadcast agreements, which have yet to be resolved. While efforts were made to negotiate a last-minute solution, it appears that the involved parties could not reach a compromise in time for the game.
Fans who were looking forward to watching the clash will have to rely on other platforms for live updates or opt for match highlights after the game concludes. The lack of coverage is especially frustrating for supporters who were eager to witness this rare clash between Premier League and Bundesliga giants.
Sky has assured customers that they are working to avoid similar disruptions in the future and hope to resolve the broadcasting rights issues ahead of future high-profile matches.
