Saudi Arabia bans beIN Sport from broadcasting in country - BBC Sport:
Saudi Arabia has barred beIN Sport - the Premier League's official Middle East broadcasters - from operating in the country.
It means there is now no legitimate way to watch English top-flight football in a nation whose public investment fund is trying to complete a takeover of Newcastle United.
The proposed £300m buyout is awaiting Premier League approval.
"The decision is nonsensical on every single level," said Qatar-based beIN.
The Saudi government claims the broadcaster has "abused its dominant position through several monopolistic practices".
