Blues To Be Absent From Screens In Uk For Conference League Clash

Chelsea Fans Face TV Blackout for European Return

Blues to be Absent from Screens in UK for Conference League Clash

Chelsea fans in the UK will not be able to watch their team's return to European football on TV, as the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League play-off against the losers of FC Braga and Servette's third qualifying round clash will not be broadcast on any UK channel.

Absence of UK Broadcast Rights

The Conference League, UEFA's third-tier European club competition, does not have a dedicated UK broadcast partner, which means that fans of English clubs will be unable to watch their teams' European adventures live on television.

Consequences for Chelsea Fans

This is a significant blow for Chelsea fans, who will be eager to see their team compete in Europe for the first time since winning the UEFA Super Cup in 2021. The Blues will be hoping to get off to a winning start in Thursday's match, but their fans will have to find alternative ways to follow the action.
