Any pub, club or sporting venue which shows live television must have a valid TV licence. Pubs without a valid licence are breaking the law and publicans run the risk of a court prosecution and fine of up to £1,000 per oThence, plus costs.
TV Licensing is mailing unlicensed pubs, before the tournament kicks off today (June 14), to remind them that if they are planning to show or record live matches to staff or customers, they must be covered by a TV licence.
