Streaming and viewing

The streaming guide is the desk's read on where to watch every region, in every language, with the cast rotation noted for each matchday. The desk updates the guide every week during the active season and flags any changes to the broadcast schedule within an hour of the official announcement.

The first thing the desk reads is the regional broadcast. Every region has a primary broadcast in the regional language, and the desk tracks the primary broadcast for each region in the calendar. The desk flags any changes to the regional broadcast within an hour of the official announcement.

The second thing the desk reads is the language broadcast. The desk tracks the language broadcast for each region — English, regional language, and any secondary language broadcast — and updates the guide accordingly. The desk flags any changes to the language broadcast within an hour of the official announcement.

The third thing the desk reads is the cast rotation. The cast rotation is the desk's read on which casters are calling which match in a given round. The desk tracks the cast rotation for each regional broadcast and updates the guide after every matchday.

The fourth thing the desk reads is the platform. The desk tracks the platform for each regional broadcast — the desk's standing rule is that the platform for a regional broadcast is the official broadcast partner and is noted on the guide page within an hour of any change.

The desk flags any changes to the broadcast schedule within an hour of the official announcement. The desk's standing rule is that any change to the broadcast schedule is reflected on the streaming guide and on the matchday calendar before the next matchday tips.

The desk's standing note on the streaming guide is that the guide is updated weekly during the active season and is reviewed after every regional matchday to confirm the read. The guide is not a prediction — it is the desk's read on the current broadcast state.
