This Bill would require more sporting events to be shown on free‑to‑air television in the UK. It expands the list of events that broadcasters must make available for free, aiming to give people greater access to key sports without a subscription. In short, it broadens public access to listed sporting events through free channels.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the Commons (having had its 1st reading in 2022). After this, it would typically proceed to committee stage, then a 3rd reading, before moving on to the Lords.
