Editorial Standards

This page explains how we source the broadcaster, subscription, and fixture information published on this site, and where the editorial team draws the line on coverage.

Sourcing

Broadcaster identity for each competition is sourced from the rights-holder’s own announcement, the broadcaster’s official press materials, and the competition’s own broadcast schedule page. For example, the Premier League’s US broadcaster is sourced from premierleague.com’s official broadcaster page, NBC Sports’ announcement of the rights deal, and NBC Sports’ on-air branding. We do not source broadcaster identity from third-party aggregators.

Subscription prices are sourced from the broadcaster’s own pricing page, captured on the date the article is last reviewed. The “last reviewed” date in the article footer identifies when the pricing was checked. Prices change frequently — typically once or twice per year — and the editorial team checks the pricing pages on a rolling six-month cycle. If you spot a stale price on any page, email [email protected] and we will check and update.

Fixture schedules displayed via the embedded widget are sourced from a public sports data API at api.tfw.bz. The widget pulls from the upstream API at page-load time; the underlying data comes from official competition fixture lists.

What we cover

We cover the broadcaster directory and subscription information for competitions where there is a meaningful editorial question to answer. The Premier League has multiple broadcaster paths in the US, several pricing options, a free-to-air window, and a complicated subscription footprint — so there is editorial value in writing the broadcaster guide. The same is true for the Champions League, the major tennis Slams, the F1 season, the UFC PPV calendar, NBA national windows, NFL Sunday football, and the major boxing promoters.

We do not cover lower-tier competitions where the broadcaster question is trivial (single broadcaster, single subscription, no free-to-air option) and the editorial value of a dedicated page is low. We do not cover competitions where the editorial team does not have confident sourcing on the broadcaster identity.

What we explicitly do not cover

We do not host, embed, link to, recommend, describe, or aggregate unauthorised broadcasts of any kind. We do not maintain a directory of third-party websites that operate outside the licensing framework. We do not publish “how-to” content for circumventing geo-restrictions or paid subscriptions.

The reason is editorial as much as legal. The audience we are writing for is the audience that wants to know which official broadcaster carries which competition. That is a useful editorial product. Building a directory of unauthorised broadcasts is a different product, and not one we are building.

Corrections

If you find an error in any article — a stale price, an incorrect broadcaster name, a missing free-to-air window — email [email protected] with the URL and the correction. The editorial team reviews corrections within two business days and updates the article if the claim is substantiated. The “last reviewed” date on the article is updated when the article is materially changed.

Author

LiveTV Guide is operated by an independent editorial team. No individual author bylines are published on the articles — the editorial position is treated as institutional rather than personal. For questions about a specific article, email [email protected].
