BT Sport and Sky will not refund subscribers who face at least three weeks without live coverage of the Premier League and Champions League, it has been claimed.
The broadcasters, which also cover the FA Cup, Europa League and the German Bundesliga, are hoping live football will resume soon following mass cancellations amid the coronavirus crisis.
But subscribers, many of whom pay upwards of £29.99 a month, are now facing a schedule of repeated matches, wrestling films and documentaries.
Sky Sports will also now no longer have any live Premier League and Football League action, while the FA Cup quarter-final matches on the BBC are cancelled.
