DallasCruisers2015 Posted August 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, I saw a few threads on here asking about whether there would be ways to watch football games on board. I know this is a long shot, but I want to ask if there is any way to watch Premier League games on Carnival? We will be on Carnival Freedom. I'm thinking not, but you never know. I am sure it may be featured on European cruise lines, but was hoping I could catch a match on Saturday. My husband is already shaking his head. I'm sorry, but I must watch my Manchester City boys! :D Edited August 24, 2015 by DallasCruisers2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted August 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Not sure if you would be able to get it on your iPad/phone with the new top tier internet plan pending the Freedom has it, and that you have a tv provider that has mobile streaming. Just an idea. My older son is a Man City fan while the younger one is for Manchester United. Their dad is a rabid Arsenal fan and I like West Ham. Just because it has the name "Ham" in it. LOL! :D Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrhillscruisers Posted August 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you are near the States on Sunday morning, NBC may air a game over their Miami afilliate. Otherwise IMG owns cruise ship distribution rights to NCL, P&O and Cunard for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyGold Posted August 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If the Internet connection is good enough, just download TVcatchup app and use a proxy such as IP vanish to situate yourself in the UK. You can then watch it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy jones Posted August 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Does Carnival have ESPN Caribbean? Some other lines do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see a family with diversity in their teams! :) I am hoping there will be at least one sports channel onboard, but my guess is that Premier League would be the last thing they would show. I just remembered that the morning games on Saturday are around 9am, so that means I probably may be able to catch it at a bar in Galveston before checking in to board (check in around 12pm, and ship leaves around 4).

playdeep Posted August 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Find a European bartender, he'll know when and where. Sunday morning NBC is an option. Also, when in port you might be able to catch it, or even Champion's League in mid-week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
