Part of an article (due to paywall) from The Athletic on Spanish TV's different approach to dealing with the empty stadiums:

Rows of empty seats and echoey ambient sounds from the pitch have made for a quite eerie atmosphere as football has returned to TV screens in recent weeks, while attempts to add "artificial" crowd noise at games have been met with a mixed response.

However, TV viewers of La Liga games, starting with Sevilla v Real Betis on Thursday evening, will be served up an "entertainment spectacle" not so different from what they are used to, claims La Liga’s audiovisual director Melcior Soler.

“We respect a lot what the Bundelisga are doing and the Premier League, and the NBA, but what we are doing will be different,” Soler tells The Athletic. “We are thinking of this as a televised entertainment spectacle. What we are going to do is make you recall what you are used to seeing when the stadiums are full.”

Soler says his team at La Liga have spent the last two months working with EA Sports and Norwegian technology specialists Vizrt to produce images which "trick" the eye into thinking the stands are full of fans.

“As a viewer, you will see a game very similar to what you do now,” he says. “The only stands seen will be full of ‘virtual fans’. From our tests, there is a small impact on the audiovisual perception of the viewer, who will actually sense that the stadium is full.”

The main step for this is adding "virtual" fans to the master camera picture, and then moving the other cameras so that none are pointing towards empty seats in the stands.

Ooh, Seville Derby tonight? Might be tonight's viewing, thanks for posting

Official Old Man · Jun 11, 2020

Interesting that Real Madrid are playing at their training ground because of works to the stadium.
As each blade of grass is exactly the same in our training ground as it is in the Amex, could we do the same?
Obviously the PL would miss out on all the lucrative advertising space they've taken over on the Lower East.

I wonder if we will get this on Sky tonight or if it is only the Spanish viewers that will see it.

Bombardier · Jun 11, 2020

Fancy the Seville derby match. Will be difficult for many fans in the city not to turn up outside. That's always a hugely passionate match. Also fancy Bilbao on Sunday too.

.

It's not really free though?

I have a sky box that I use for watching freeview stuff so unless I subscribe to some kind of Sky package i'm stuffed...

Glad to be proved wrong on this of cause

I believe you should see the same. The channel on Sky, La Liga TV, is run by the Spanish League for English speaking audiences around the world rather than being a UK production.

It's Channel 435 on the Skybox....does that work for non-subscribers ? Failing that, "If you are not a Sky TV customer, you can watch all of the games live via the LaLiga TV online player" (think there is a 'free trial' for a month on the Player)

Edit - just seen this :

To get access to all the games, Sky UK customers should visit premiersports.com and register with the promo code BACKTOWIN. Non-Sky customers can also sign up using the same code.

With games due to be shown on TV on Channel 435 on Sky, fans can also live stream the matches online via the Premier Player app.

I'm going to struggle to gather up the enthusiasm to watch football from this country let alone from Spain, Germany, etc. Seeing subs benches with players wearing masks just makes me think if it really is that bad, then we shouldn't be doing it.

Actually am I allowed to say that I don't want to watch football from Germany and Spain? Or is that something I'll have to apologise for in 10 years time?

Doesn't work for me must be Spain only, grrr

Watching on Sky now - had to subscribe (free trial) via premiersports first, but connected instantly after that.

Decent game......intensity looks normal.

Watching a stream and I like the crowd graphics and crowd noise. After a while you dont notice the crowd is fake and the crowd noise is very understated so works really well.

One of the worst penalty decisions I have ever seen that, he literally did nothing and somehow VAR didn’t overturn it.
