"What? I have a different internet provider — do I have to switch?

No. BT say they will create an entirely new sports channel to host their live football and rugby coverage. This will be available, at a price, to existing customers, plus those who have Sky or Virgin. It is expected to be an equivalent cost to a Sky Sports package — which is around £21 a month."

It all depends on whether you believe the Daily Mail are a credible source.

£21.00 would be outrageous. At least for £21.00 on SKY you get SKY Sports 1, SKY Sports 2, SKY Sports 3, SKY Sports 4, SKY F1 and SKY Sports News.

ESPN has been free on XL from launch. M+ and L customers can get ESPN for £8 per month as standard, or as little at £6 per month if they have the SKY Sports collection. I can't see any Virgin or SKY customer happily paying £21.00 per month for a repackaged version of ESPN.
