Will El Clasico be live on UK TV?
The first Clasico of the 2016/17 season, which ended in a 1-1 draw back in December last year, was shockingly unavailable on UK television. The reason behind this unexpected situation happened to be the kickoff time and date—3:15pm GMT on a Saturday afternoon—a slot that went against Britain’s 3pm TV blackout for soccer matches.
The upcoming Clasico on April 23, 2017, will be a different story though, as it falls on a Sunday. In simple terms, no blackout for fans wanting to watch the match at home. With this being certain, Sky Sports 1/HD is expected to broadcast the Clasico live in the UK on TV, as well as on its app Sky Go.
