It's to do with uefa and outreaching games to smaller nations... obviously its main broadcaster is pay per view type so s4c as being a national broadcaster for Wales (in eufa eyes) allow it to be shown but only in the Welsh language .... that's it in nutshell. BUt sure there's ways around it...

Like I said Allan, the problem has come from ViaPlay scaling back their UK TV operations.
So S4C are the only channel in the UK to show Wales matches. Like I said, it's worse for Scotland who are restricted to YouTube.
UEFA aren't happy about it. Expect they'll go back to Sky for the new contract in 2028.

Suits yhe broadcaster who dictates who see games... but I did think it can only be shown with welsh commentary ? But I go to all games so not a problem...... anyway back to bellers we will see how he takes turkey game as it basically a must win then on to last game Iceland win that as well we get promoted.. which is great for our standing in qualifying for taunements

Yes, there is. I watched it on S4C with English commentary by following the sky Q box instructions posted on here. Sorted for the next 4 years
