Editorial Standards — VIPLeague

VIPLeague is an editorial publication. This page describes the standards we hold ourselves to and how we handle sourcing, corrections, conflicts of interest, and editorial independence.

Sourcing

We publish information drawn from:

• Official broadcaster schedules. Sky Sports, TNT Sports, BBC Sport, ITV Sport, Amazon Prime Video, DAZN UK, Channel 4 and Channel 5 publish their own programme schedules; we work from those sources.
• Public competition feeds. The soccer fixtures widget displays data from the public competition feed API (api.tfw.bz), which aggregates kickoff times, team names, competition names and dates from public sources.
• League rights announcements. When the Premier League, UEFA, the NFL, the NBA, F1, the UFC, or other major rights-holders announce a new broadcast deal, we update the relevant page to reflect the announcement.

Where a broadcast schedule changes after publication (e.g., a rescheduled fixture, a contract amendment), we update the affected page with the new information and note the update date.

Corrections policy

If we publish an error, we correct it openly:

1. The corrected text replaces the inaccurate text in the body of the article.
2. A note is added at the bottom of the article: Correction (YYYY-MM-DD): [description of the correction].
3. If the error was material to a reader’s purchasing decision (e.g., we quoted the wrong subscription price), we add the note to the top of the article in addition to the bottom.

To report an error, email [email protected]. We respond within 48 hours during the working week.

Editorial independence

VIPLeague is independent of broadcasters, leagues, betting operators, and VPN services. We do not accept payment, gifts, hospitality or other consideration in exchange for editorial coverage, ranking, or placement.

We monetise the Site through display advertising via a third-party network (Adsterra). Advertising placements are clearly marked and do not influence editorial content. The advertising network does not select which advertisers appear on the Site, and we do not pre-approve specific advertisers.

We may, over time, partner with specific broadcasters or rights-holders for an affiliate relationship (e.g., a NOW Sports referral programme). If we do so, we will disclose the relationship on the relevant page and in this document. As of the date of this article, we have no affiliate relationships with any broadcaster.

Conflict of interest

The editorial team includes individuals who hold personal subscriptions to broadcasters mentioned on the Site (Sky Sports, TNT Sports, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, NBC Peacock, ESPN+, Paramount+, DAZN, NOW). This is by professional necessity — the editorial team consumes broadcaster content as part of editorial work.

The editorial team does not hold equity, paid sponsorships, or board positions in any broadcaster, league or rights-holder named on the Site.

What we do not publish

We do not publish:

• Affiliate links to unauthorised streaming services.
• Links to VPN providers (we do not recommend VPN-based geographic-restriction circumvention).
• “Working” or “alternative” lists for unauthorised streaming sites.
• Tutorials on circumventing broadcast restrictions.
• Match-betting tips or betting advice.
• Cryptocurrency or NFT-adjacent advertising.

We will refuse advertising placements that fall within any of the above categories.

AI assistance

Our editorial workflow uses AI tools (large language models) as drafting assistants and editorial reviewers. Every article that ships on VIPLeague has been edited by a human editor before publication, with factual claims (subscription costs, broadcaster rights, kickoff dates) verified against official sources.

We do not publish AI-generated content without human editorial review.
