A court order has been obtained requiring local internet service providers to block access to 50 more pirate domains linked to apps and websites showing English Premier League (EPL) matches illegally.

- Samuel Devaraj

In a statement on Nov 27, the Premier League said this means there are now more than 600 such domains blocked here, following a series of court orders it has obtained since the 2018/2019 season.

This includes orders obtained on Feb 29 and April 2, 2024, blocking more than 125 sites.

The Premier League said that the latest ruling by the Singapore High Court obtained on Nov 4 affects access to illegal apps and websites that are often preloaded into illegal streaming devices.

Premier League general counsel Kevin Plumb said that the organisation is pleased that the courts and law enforcement authorities in Singapore continue to recognise the importance of protecting intellectual property rights.
