Governing bodies of sport have renewed their commitment to ensuring that coverage of the UK’s major sporting events is available on free-to-air television. They have also pledged that at least 30% of the net revenue derived from the sale of UK television broadcast rights is reinvested back into grassroots sport.

Six of the UK’s major sports bodies have all made the commitment as part of the Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Broadcasting of Major Sporting Events. The Code ensures that sports events of significant national interest are made available to free-to-air broadcasters in live, recorded or highlights form so that they can be viewed by the vast majority of the population.
