Have to fly to London tomorrow a.m. - are the playoff games shown live there? Yes, I know the time difference will be brutal, esp for Sat nite’s game.

Thanks

If the place you are staying has Sky Sports then should you will be able to watch the play-offs live.

Obviously over here the games are late at night, but you might be able to find a bar showing the playoffs live if the place your staying doesn’t carry the sky sports channels.

If you’re really struggling there’s a Sports Cafe chain in major cities that will show it. The London location (on Haymarket, near Piccadilly) is open until 3am and 4am, depending on the day. They’re not the nicest bars I’ve ever been in, and sometimes charge entry fees if it’s a popular sporting event, but it’s a last resort if you need it.
