Rejected petition Show 3pm premier league games on a Saturday

To encourage the FA and premier league to change the 3pm ban on games being televised in the uk

More details

All premier league games should be televised for British people to watch their team play. It is near impossible to go to a premier league game and you can’t watch your own team play at 3pm but yet all other national countries can. The English game should be available for English people before anyone else.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about when to hold and broadcast football matches are a matter for the FA, the Premier League and the Football League, and broadcasters, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
