BT Sport break SPFL silence as broadcaster makes promise to supporters

BT have apologised to their sports customers as the coronavirus pandemic clears their TV schedules - but punters won't get refunds for the dearth of action.

The Broadcaster charges up to £29.99 a month for access to their four sports channels with content including the Scottish Premiership , Premier League and European competitions.

Record Sport understands that players may not return to the pitch until as late as September, a situation that will have a knock-on effect for the broadcaster gaining new subscribers.

A BT Spokesperson said: "We apologise to customers about the changes to the BT Sport schedule this month due to the impact of Covid 19.

"The situation is evolving rapidly and we are working with the leagues to continue to broadcast live sport wherever possible and broadcast games when they are rescheduled over the coming months.

"We will continue to broadcast a wide range of BT Sport content including films and documentaries and we will update our customers as we have a clearer view of the remainder of the season."

BT has become a fans' favourite in Scotland for their passionate and informed coverage with opinionated pundits like Record Sport 's Chris Sutton and Ally McCoist capturing the fans' imagination.

While their deal to screen the Premiership runs out at the end of the season and moves to Sky, BT will still show Scottish sides' games in the Champions and Europa League .

It's understood the company is still hopeful the current season can still be resolved and is in close contact with the bodies that run the game to find a solution.
