Focusing on the Premier League in general, this top tier club competition amassed the highest revenue when compared to other European leagues, earning about 5.8milion Euros during the 2016-2017 campaign. The previous record price for broadcasting rights for the Premier League in Thailand currently stands at about 320million USD.

Below are upcoming matches, in Thai time, from the beginning of March up until the end of April that you cannot afford to miss!

02:45 – Friday March 2, 2018
In the early hours of Friday March 2, 2018, we see Arsenal take on Manchester City, a fixture that can help decide the entire fate of the Premier League season. With Manchester City still top of the league, Arsenal are seen as one of the teams capable of stopping them courtesy of their winter intake of new players, and in turn, give other teams trying to chase for the top spot a better chance of catching up.
23:00 – Sunday March 4, 2018
Only a few days from the previously mentioned match, we see Manchester City with another important game, this time against current Premier League champions, Chelsea. Despite City still looking in control at the top, any defeat over these two fixtures could blow the title race wide open. Although Chelsea have been struggling as of late following rumors of internal conflict within the club, they are still seen as another opponent capable of stopping Manchester City in their tracks.
19:30 – Saturday March 10, 2018
At 19:30 on Sunday March 10, 2018, the Premier League will showcase one of the most popular fixtures in Thailand, if not the world. The match sees Manchester United take on longtime rivals Liverpool, two clubs with a huge amount of followers worldwide. Despite the position on the table they find themselves in, a match between these two clubs will guarantee crowds at any venue showing the match live. Restaurants and pubs are known to be fully booked, with fans ready to wear their team’s favorite kit for a night out. With a kick-off time of 19:30, be prepared for a very exciting atmosphere wherever you go!
21:00 – Saturday April 7, 2018
Prepare yourself for another major match up where Manchester City take on Manchester United in the much anticipated Manchester Derby. Depending on how the fixtures leading up to the match goes, this could be seen as a title decider, with at least one of the two teams set to drop points. This is yet another fixture that all football fans will be keen to watch. Fans of other top teams will also tune in as any drop in points may give their club a higher chance of overtaking either Manchester City or Manchester United in the league rankings.
21:00 – Saturday April 28, 2018
