iQIYI, the rights holders of Premier League broadcasts in China, will not show matches this weekend due to the league's plans to show messages of support for Ukraine, according to the BBC.
On Wednesday, the Premier League announced that all club captains will wear armbands in Ukrainian colors this weekend while games will also feature a moment of silence before kickoff along with messages of solidarity on advertising boards and screens in stadiums.
The Premier League declined to comment on the broadcasting situation in China, a known geopolitical ally of Russia,
“The Premier League and our clubs wholeheartedly reject Russia’s actions and will be showing support for the people of Ukraine at all matches this weekend,” the league announced in a statement on Wednesday.
