The SPFL have vowed to continue their crusade against illegal streaming as they ramp up their bid to prevent unauthorised broadcasts being shown in pubs and other licensed premises in partnership with Sky Sports.
Sky have the exclusive SPFL rights for Scottish Premiership clashes and showcased Rangers' visit to Livingston on the opening day of the season, before Celtic's Flag Day coronation got under way in Glasgow's east end before the victory over Aberdeen. To show these league clashes licensed premises, or any other commercial premises wanting to show live league matches in their venue, should have a commercial subscription agreement with Sky.
The governing body have showcased the latest of their anti-piracy programme, with unauthorised leagues matches being shown in commercial premises are detected and with legal action taken in some cases. A statement released from the SPFL states: "This action is taken to protect the investment of those that show legitimate broadcasts of cinch SPFL matches and other sport content."
