[Itsme...]

I guess now our only way to watch those is in UCL. 6 matches in league stage, 2 in R16, 2 in R8. Total 10 matches. I don't want them to qualify further this for obvious reasons. LoL

Though Sony Sports India retweeted Paralympics tweet about 2020 Tokyo 2020 Paralympics . guys, so can we expect Sony sports network to live telecast Tokyo 2020 Paralympics summer games as it'll start from 24th August to 5th September 2021 this time . India did well last time in 2016 though they only ended up airing only highlights.
