Premier Sports to become Viaplay from 1 November.

Premier Sports to become Viaplay from 1 November.

Effectively just a rebrand. Premier Sports bought by Viaplay who are a Scandinavian streaming platform.

[justinr73]

For a further small fee, it looks as though we will be able to access additional Scandinavian content.

[Neill_M]

For a further small fee, it looks as though we will be able to access additional Scandinavian content.

Indeed, for new subscribers there is a tv only option of £3.99/month or everything for £14.99/month.

Interesting to see if you get the tv and movies for nothing if you have existing Premier Sports subscription. Easy to adjust monthly payments, more difficult for them re people like me who pay on a annual basis.

[solidarity]

I'm also paying annually and am really only interested in rugby, so I'm not interested in the more expensive option. Presumably we'll get a refund...

[jean valjean]

Did an annual renewal on Saturday past to watch the games. Time will tell if it was a good idea or not, hopefully I dodged any new price increases.

[Neill_M]

Got a prompt reply from Viaplay

Hi Neill,

Thanks for contacting us!

From November 1st, 2022 you can find all the same sports rights and much more in the Viaplay app. As a current subscriber to the Premier Player, your subscription will be moved to Viaplay, you will receive further instructions via mail when we launch.
Best regards,
