Disney+ faces criticism from viewers after an advert break interrupts live coverage of Arsenal’s Women’s Champions League match. During the second half of the game against HB Køge, viewers are reported to have been unable to see the on-field action for about three minutes, with roughly 15 minutes remaining, as the broadcast cut to an advertisement.
Arsenal are playing HB Køge in their opening Women’s Champions League fixture and win 1-0. The outlets reporting the issue say the interruption appeared to be unintended, based on what was understood at the time. Both sources describe the same timing and impact of the break, with the match continuing after coverage returns.
The criticism centers on viewers losing sight of play during a live match, while the broader context is the ongoing reliance on streaming platforms for major football coverage and the expectation of uninterrupted viewing during key moments.
