Its a political dispute between those two countries and they are using media as ground battle to fight their shitty war for monopoly.

Edit: also bein is shit and garbage, last month they decided to stop showing Italian league because of this anti ksa bs, of course they only punished millions of paid subscribers.

Whats this piracy they speak of? Is it just saudi arabia allowing some provider to broadcast some sports or is it that they have a blind eye to iptv providers?

Bein has been technically banned from Saudi Arabia since 2017, yet preloaded STBs from an IPTV provider were sold in the market broadcasting similar feeds to bein channels with a different branding and without going through the licensed resellers.

There's a Saudi channel called BeoutQ that literally rebroadcasts beIN Sports with their own logo on top.

They really know how to take the piss. This after they just lost a decision to allow ICAO to rule on the QF airspace ban.
