Why aren’t some English Premier League matches broadcasted live in the UK, but are broadcasted in other countries?

Why is there a scheduled blackout of football broadcasts in the UK? I don’t get it; it’s not like everyone can be at the stadiums at the same time.

It’s just contractual. As part of the deal when football sold its soul to Sky, 3pm Saturday was sacrosanct.

If City vs Arsenal was on live (or a key relegation game at end of season) then loads would watch it for interest. It’d harm a lot of clubs’ gate receipts.
