🇦🇷 Copa de la Liga: TV channel, kick-off times and live streaming in the UK

The Copa de la Liga is one of the two national titles Argentina awards every year, and that is what makes it singular: the country is one of very few in the world where the same club can be crowned twice in a single calendar year, once through the long championship and once through this tournament. Restricted to first-division clubs, it is played in groups early in the year and then in a knockout final phase, single matches, often on neutral ground. The schedule is tight, games come every three days, and a club knocked out of the championship gets a second chance a few weeks later. Boca Juniors, River Plate, Racing and Estudiantes have all won it, and the title carries a Copa Libertadores place - enough to explain why nobody treats it as a warm-up competition. For a European viewer, matches are played in the Argentinian evening, which means the middle of the night in Europe.
