Al Jazeera Sports, now rebranded as beIN Sports, was launched in 2003 as a sports network by Al Jazeera Media Network, based in Qatar. Initially created to provide comprehensive sports coverage across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Al Jazeera Sports quickly became a major player in the sports broadcasting industry.
The network offered a wide range of content, including live broadcasts of major international sports events such as the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League, and top European football leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A. In addition to football, Al Jazeera Sports covered other sports, including tennis, athletics, and basketball, catering to a diverse audience.
Al Jazeera Sports gained a reputation for high-quality broadcasting, featuring expert commentary and in-depth analysis. It also expanded its reach beyond the MENA region, acquiring broadcasting rights for various sports events globally.
In 2014, Al Jazeera Sports was rebranded as beIN Sports, further expanding its global presence with new channels and services across different regions, including Europe, Asia, and North America. The rebranding marked a significant evolution in the network’s ambition to become a global leader in sports broadcasting, continuing its legacy of delivering premier sports content to a worldwide audience.

The problem is they cut the number of 3pm Saturday games and all that happens is people will find other ways to watch online!
Someof us pay for subscriptions to watch Al Jazeera through Satellite dishes and we are the ones to suffer. Al Jazeera think they are the only people broadcasting games.
Technology always follows piracy, embrace the technology and you can make money from it, just think about the likes of Netflix, they only exist because they copied piracy and streaming services!
Given the choice people will pay to watch things legally if the price is fair.
