How to watch La Liga in the UK in 2018-19

Sky have decided not to renew their contract with La Liga, so where will UK fans be able to watch the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi?

With the news of broadcaster Sky having had their bid to broadcast La Liga next season rejected, how will UK viewers be able to follow Barcelona and Real Madrid?

After nearly two decades of covering the Spanish league, Sky refused to pay more than the initial £18 million they offered three years ago when competing for the rights against BT Sport.

Now, after talks have broken down, sports provider Eleven Sports – owned by Leeds United owner and chairman Andrea Radrizzani – have agreed terms of a three-year deal to show La Liga in the UK from the start of next season.
