Prince William says the rules which stop football matches being shown on television if they kick off at 15:00 on a Saturday are “irritating”.
The Aston Villa fan – who is patron of the English Football Association – says the blackout often stops him being able to watch his side when he can’t get to matches.
“Getting up to Villa Park isn’t the easiest thing for me but I like to watch as many games as I possibly can either by being there or on TV,” he told The Sun newspaper.
“The biggest thing at home is trying to find it on TV sometimes because obviously you’ve got the Saturday 3pm blackout which is irritating.
“But it’s really annoying that we still can’t watch our own team’s Premier League match in this country but you can go abroad and watch any game any time.”
The rule to stop matches being televised on Saturday afternoons, when most games are played, was introduced in the 1960s to encourage fans to attend lower league games.
European football’s governing body Uefa imposes the blackout when it is requested by the Football Association.
