    Why Servette vs Chelsea is not on TV as Europa Conference League playoff absent due to unique rule

    The Blues are in UEFA’s third-tier competition despite finishing sixth in the Premier League last season due to Manchester United taking their Europa League spot. 

    Enzo Maresca’s side are halfway to making to the group stages of the Conference League, where they will hope to go far and become the first side to win the Conference League, Europa League and Champions League.

    But as with the first leg, fans won’t be able to watch it on TV.

    Why is Servette vs Chelsea not on TV? 

    Servette vs Chelsea will not be broadcast on TV in the UK. 

    There are no TV rights for the playoff stage of the Europa League or Europa Conference League in this country. 

    Only the Champions League playoffs are made available to watch. 

    This is because only the league stage and onwards for the other two competitions are part of the European broadcast package for broadcasters in the UK. 

    Due to this, the clubs involved in the playoff games are able to sell the broadcasting rights.

    But Chelsea have decided to show the second leg on their own official website and app.

    Fans can pay £4.99 to gain access to the stream and follow the action. More details on how to do so can be found here.

    Chelsea are in a great position to book themselves a place in the league stage which will include 36 teams in the new format. 

    A 2-0 lead is a good advantage for the Blues, but they’ll need to be wary of a comeback from the home side.
