I have the 34 euros per month Sky Italia package which is meant to provide me with all of the 'football'. Last night i settled down to watch the Barcelona v Arsenal game only to find it was 'pay per view'. This seems very random, as i have always received all of the football including English premiership and champions league prior to this as part of my package. Can someone tell me the reason why it is suddenly Pay Per View.

The Champions League is not part of the 'Calcio' package, it's part of the 'Sport' package. Therefore, if you only have calcio, you can't see it.

How do i find out which champions league matches are pay per view. The calcio package so far has been all pay per view. However, i understand that at a certain stage of the tournament this can be seen on calcio. Am I correct.

If you look on LJs site, it will tell you which channels are showing it.

I've recently got the calcio channels and saw this thread after I wondered why they were pay per view

Is there some kind of further subscription on the calcio channels as I notice serie b required to pay 99 euro for a season ticket I think.

do you need to pay extra for champions league because I'll renew my aljazeera sport and loop through the italia receiver.
