Hey football fans! 👋 After checking subtitles across Smart TVs, Laptops/MACs, and Mobile Phones during the FA Cup (Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2025), here’s what we found:
✅ BBC One – Subtitles? Yes! 🎉
❌ BBC iPlayer – No subtitles?! 😲 Why, BBC?!
🚨 Matches affected:
⚽ Crystal Palace vs Millwall (12:15 PM) – 📺 BBC One & BBC iPlayer (No subtitles! 😞)
⚽ Preston North End vs Burnley (12:15 PM) – 🌍 BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website & app (No subtitles! 😠)
⚽ Manchester United vs Fulham (4:30 PM) – 📺 BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website & app (No subtitles! 🤯)
✅ Good news! Every other match on ITV and ITVX had full subtitles! 🎉 So… what’s going on, BBC iPlayer? 🤔
👂 18 million people in the UK have hearing loss—they deserve equal access to football! This isn’t about complaints, it’s about inclusion, accessibility, and stress-free entertainment! 💙
🔄 Is BBC iPlayer going backwards?
Years ago, Match of the Day on BBC One had no subtitles—then they fixed it. But now, BBC iPlayer is back to square one! 😟
❌ And it’s not just football! Many shows on Apple TV’s BBC iPlayer app still don’t have subtitles, and people have been reporting it for over FOUR years! 😡 Meanwhile, the same content on Smart TVs does have subtitles. 🤯 What’s the deal?!
🔧 BBC, it’s time to step up! Subtitles matter. Football, movies, shows—everyone deserves to enjoy them, stress-free! 🏟️🎬
Let’s push for change! Spread the word! 📢⚡ #SubtitlesMatter #FACupAccessibility #InclusionForAll
