Always on for Sport is eircom?s online sporting channel, bringing you the latest news, results and fixtures from a range of sports and events.
As well as our up to the minute news service, eircom broadband customers can access sports programmes from a range of sporting leagues and events through our exclusive deal with Setanta Sports. This includes the Scottish Premier League, Barclay?s Premiership, Celtic League, eircom League and the US PGA Tour. Games are archived for at least seven days so you don?t have to worry about missing your favourite games or events.
Setanta events shown on Always on for Sport will be a mixture of live and delayed programmes. Please see the schedule for complete programming details.
Live and archived games from Setanta Sports are available on Always on for Sports to all eircom residential customers using broadband time, broadband home starter, broadband home plus and broadband home professional.
Although the programmes are similar to the Setanta Sports channel certain Setanta Sports programming will not be included. This is due to the rights contracts that Setanta has negotiated with the respective rights holders. This will only apply to a small percentage of programmes.
