International broadcaster Eleven Sports has taken its protest against the UK’s Saturday afternoon live soccer ‘blackout’ into a second successive week through its La Liga coverage.

The online streaming platform first ignored the Football Association (FA) regulation that prohibits live match coverage from being broadcast between 2:45pm and 5:15pm last week, when Eleven live-streamed Barcelona’s clash with Athletic Bilbao.

The decision to continue to defy the rule, which is an optionally enforced Uefa statute, came with Getafe’s game against Levante being broadcast live in its entirety at 3:15pm.

Eleven, owned by Leeds United majority shareholder Andrea Radrizzani, has repeatedly declared its disagreement with the law, which is only imposed in England, Scotland and Montenegro, citing the number of illegal online streaming sites and betting-operated streams that regularly flout the statute.

In response to the situation, the FA told sports business outlet Sportcal: “We are aware of the matter and are looking into it through the appropriate channels.”

The broadcaster chose to obey the rules during the first 15 minutes of Juventus’ Serie A clash with Udinese on, which kicked off at 5.15pm on Saturday.

However, it ran a message alongside a blacked out screen, saying: ‘Due to an FA enforced regulation, we are not able to bring you pictures from the opening 15 minutes of this match. No other countries outside of the UK and Montenegro apply this rule. We disagree with it and we are continuing to challenge it with the best interests of our customers at heart.’

Similarly, Eleven Sports did abide by the rules with regards to the Rome derby between Roma and Lazio – which took place at 2pm on 29th September – by showing the game ‘as live’ from 5.15pm.
