Get ready, Celtic fans! With the 23/24 season approaching, it’s time to gear up to watch the Bhoys in green, led once again by Brendan Rodgers. But how exactly can you catch as many games as you can this season if you can’t physically be there? This article will guide you through the various broadcasting services that will enable you to watch Celtic, whether they’re playing in the SPFL, League Cup, Scottish Cup, or European competitions.
SPFL GAMES LIVE ON SKY SPORTS
Sky Sports is your go-to channel for watching the Bhoys’ SPFL games. Celtic’s away matches in the league will predominantly feature on this channel, offering you a front-row seat to the action. However, there may be times when Sky Sports doesn’t cover a Celtic away game. In such scenarios, the home club has the option to sell the game on pay-per-view (PPV), which could incur additional charges on top of your Sky Sports subscription.
As for Celtic’s home games, they aren’t typically televised unless it’s a special occasion, such as the first game of the season, trophy day, or a Glasgow Derby. But don’t fret – there’s a solution for international fans eager to witness every moment of the action from Celtic Park.
For those residing outside the UK and Ireland, subscribing to Celtic TV is your ticket to watching all the SPFL action.
Celtic Cup Competitions Live on ViaPlay
When it comes to the League Cup and Scottish Cup, a Viaplay subscription will ensure you don’t miss out on any of Celtic’s performances. While no game is set in stone until after the draws have been made, Celtic usually end up on the channel both home and away.
Celtic Champions League Adventure on TNT Sports
The European stage calls for a different broadcasting service. To watch Celtic compete against Europe’s elite, a BT Sports subscription is essential. Note that from the 23/24 season, BT Sports is rebranding to TNT Sports. The change won’t affect your viewing experience, ensuring you can continue to support the Hoops in their European exploits.
While the diversity of broadcasters like Sky Sports, Viaplay, and TNT Sports ensures that Celtic fans have access to all the club’s matches, it does present a significant financial challenge. Each of these platforms requires a separate subscription, which quickly adds up, forcing fans to shell out a significant amount just to follow their favourite team.
While it’s undeniable that broadcast rights and subscriptions form a crucial part of football economics, it’s essential to find a balance that respects fans’ loyalty and passion without overburdening them financially.
