flag SNP pushes UK to keep major sports events free on TV amid concerns over paywall access.

flag The SNP is urging the UK government to keep major international sporting events, including future World Cup qualifiers and the Commonwealth Games, on free-to-air TV to ensure public access. flag While Scotland’s 2026 World Cup matches will be broadcast live on terrestrial channels, the BBC’s current deal for qualifying games ends after this campaign, raising concerns about future paywall restrictions. flag The party highlights that free access supports national unity and inclusivity, especially amid rising living costs, and criticizes past disparities where Scotland’s games were often pay-per-view while England’s were free. flag The UK government maintains its current "listed events regime" balances free access with broadcaster revenue and has no plans to change it.
