Why Liverpool vs Fulham is not on TV as midweek Premier League blackout explained

Liverpool return to Premier League action tonight when they welcome Fulham to Anfield.

Diogo Jota's injury-time winner gave the Reds a dramatic victory against Tottenham Hotspur last time out. Despite racing into a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, Spurs fought back and looked like they had rescued themselves a point when Richarlison headed home in stoppage time.

But not to be outdone, Jota scored in the fourth minute of additional time to send Anfield wild. The result leaves the Reds fifth in the Premier League table ahead of tonight’s game against Marco Silva’s side.

Why is Liverpool vs Fulham not on TV?

However, supporters hoping to watch the action on TV will be disappointed after learning that the game will not be broadcast live on TV in the UK. This is because the match was not scheduled to be on TV before it was postponed and therefore is unable to be shown now, even though it has been rescheduled.

The game was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, March 18, with a 3pm kick-off. That kick-off on a Saturday is, of course, during the customary blackout.

And even though the game is now being played midweek, broadcasting rules in the UK prevented it from being shown on TV. However, the ECHO will have full coverage of everything that happens at Anfield on our dedicated live match blog.
