Editorial Standards

This page describes how TotalSportek verifies factual claims about sports broadcast rights, pricing and schedules before publication.

Sources we rely on

• The official rights-holder’s published schedule (Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, ESPN, ESPN+, NBC Peacock, Paramount+, CBS Sports, Apple TV, NBA League Pass, NFL+, NBA TV, NFL Network, TSN, Sportsnet, CBC Sports, DAZN Canada, Fubo Canada, OneSoccer, F1 TV Pro, RDS).
• The league’s own published schedule (Premier League, UEFA, FA, EFL, NBA, NFL, UFC, Formula 1).
• Public press releases from the broadcasters and the leagues at the start of each rights cycle.
• Cross-checks against secondary editorial sources where the primary record is ambiguous.

We do not rely on aggregator sites, on social-media posts, on tipster accounts, or on any source that does not have a direct rights or league relationship.

Verification process

Every page that names a broadcaster or quotes a price goes through a four-step verification on the day of publication:

1. The claim is checked against the broadcaster’s current website.
2. The claim is checked against the league’s published rights table for the current cycle.
3. Pricing is checked against the broadcaster’s customer-facing checkout page.
4. The page is dated to the day of verification.

If a claim cannot be verified through steps one and two, the claim is removed.

Updates and corrections

Pages are updated when a rights cycle changes, when a broadcaster’s pricing changes, or when a corrections notice is filed. Corrections appear at the bottom of the affected page with a note explaining what changed and when. Material errors are corrected within 24 hours of being notified.

• We will not name unauthorised streaming sites.
