BTs current contract only covers Champions League qualifiers not Europa League.
From what I understand BT had first refusal for the Everton game. It then gets passed on to ITV as they hold the contract for the highlights.
I guess ITV didn't want first leg as they are showing Women's rugby World Cup.
Have to say I'm surprised BT are not showing it, they showed the Europa qualifiers in the past two years. I wonder if this indicates cost cutting following changes of management.
