All options to watch football this year

The European leagues have started to roll this season 16/17 and with them, doubts return for many of how or where they can see their team this year and all the competitions it plays. After last year's disasters, with the purchase of BeIN the rights to the Champions, Movistar did not want to offer its users the Champions League until after the group stage due to the conditions that they were asked to include the various BeIN channels in Movistar +, the wars between the big three (Movistar, Vodafone and Orange) for offering the Liga BBVA, we will tell you All possibilities we have this year to enjoy the beautiful sport in our country.

Television Rights

BeIN seems to have bet very strongly on football and this year keeps the rights of the now called Liga Santander (Spanish first division, which now sponsors Santander and not BBVA) and Liga 1,2,3 (second division). Nevertheless, Movistar keeps the rights of the «Partidazo», broadcasting the first and second game that he chooses each day. In addition, the open game this year will be on the GOL channel that broadcasts open on DTT. In summary, we will have the following channels available to watch the Spanish leagues:

• BeIN LaLiga: Through the BeIn channels we will be able to watch the Santander League matches except for the one broadcast in open air and the one chosen by Movistar as the «Partidazo».

• Movistar great match: it will broadcast the match of the day chosen by movistar both first and second (presumably the Madrid-Barça classics will be broadcast here, the Betis-Sevilla, R.Sociedad- Ath.Bilbao, Madrid-Atlético derbies, etc.).

• GOL: where we can see the open game every week that will include teams that do not play in European competition.

As for the European competitions and other leagues, the panorama is somewhat different from what we have with the Spanish leagues. As always, we can watch a Champions League open game on Tuesdays, there is the option to watch the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 but in this case the rights are more distributed, thus leaving the distribution of each one:

• Antena 3: it will re-broadcast the Tuesday match in the Champions League open with its "Champions Territory" program, as well as being able to broadcast summaries of the rest of the matches once the day is over.

• Bein Sports: the entire Champions League is awarded this year, except for the live match and the UEFA Europa League, which this year will be without free broadcast. It will also feature the Italian Serie A or the French Ligue 1.

• Movistar Soccer: Exclusivity is awarded at the operator level, not only for the Premier League and Bundesliga channel. Undoubtedly a good asset in favor of Movistar this year with how interesting the Premier League is a priori.

See Football, But Online

As for a few seasons ago, it has been common to have the option of watching football without having to contract it directly with an operator and to have an online contracting option to watch the games over the internet.

One of the options is BeIN Connect, in which all BeIN channels are offered in high definition and with which you can see the Santander League, League 1,2,3, BeIN Sports and Gol. Including all the programming that these channels offer without any restrictions. The price is € 9,99 per month without permanence.

teddy tv It is the other option to watch football online. Tedi TV has the option of hiring the channels you want to watch in a more personalized way and therefore, you can adjust the price more (But seeing the same thing as with BeIN Connect will be more expensive). However, it allows the hiring of Movistar Partidazo, an option that BeIN Connect does not have. The prices that this variable handles online are: € 9,95 to watch BeIN LaLiga and see the Santander League and the 1,2,3 League; € 4,95 for Movistar Partidazo and € 9,95 for BeIN Sports.

You can download the applications of the two online options for your iOS device here:
