I get an email TODAY informing me that as of TODAY Bein Sports is no longer available. This is the ONLY channel that carries the European soccer leagues. I want Bein Sports back and if not by the time the European season starts I will drop Verizon IMMEDIATELY and sign up with another provider. Dish, Direct TV and Comcast all carry it. I lose nothing but Verizon loses a customer and I can bet that I am not the only one.
Me too, if I'm not getting Being Sports before La Liga starts, I'm done with Verizon

@soccerjane
Me too too.
If you don't settle with BeIn and reinstate the channel on FIOS lineup, I'm done with paying the same amount for lesser service and will move to SPECTRUM - cheaper too!
I just started my cable with Verizon and extremely disappointed that I'm going to have to already switch because soccer is life, and without bein sports, there is no way I'm staying with this cable service. WE NEED BEIN SPORTS!!!
I want you to resolve the Bein issue. Bein is a mojor sports provider for international sports ans a majr reason I subscribe to a cable. Fix it!
I wonder how many of these posts are from bein sports themselves. Having said that, I will certainly cancel my subscription if they don't reinstate the channel
and talked about all MY channels Verizon had dropped from my package or alltogether since I became customer 7+ yeras ago.. BeIN, Bloomberg, NHL network, CNN Intern., Euronews.. they basically liquidate all channels that I like and for me to mantain same package I would have to pay $40 month through Sling/FuboTv/Optimum(more$$). Then I had to wait for 2 hours until manager called me, and I had to explain it all over again. I was given minuscul $50 rabate, which is a drop in ocean comparing what I have to pay and what will make me discontinue TV package, if they do not agree wirh BeIN sports. I also asked the manager to report this issue with her manager and Department that is in charge of negotiations with TV networks. I hope all of you do the same, so Verizon is well aware of customer dissatisfaction. Today I got $50, but it is likely I will drop Verizon anyway, because this is their last straw.
I agree with most of the channels you mentioned.
But you don't have NHL Network on channel 87/587?
I completely concur!
T-minus 2 days in till European soccer starts. Iโve been a customer of Verizon for over 20 years, since the day they were available in my area. The removal of channels started with the Weather Channel, then the Sony Movie Channel and now Bein Sports. This is the last straw, I watch a lot of soccer and will cancel subscription if this channel in not restored by then.
VERIZON FIOS, please reinstate BEIN SPORTS now!!!!!!!!! European soccer is about to start. Just get rid of another channels that nobody watches and renevew the agreement with BEIN SPORTS. It's either that and MANY friends and relatives and I will cut the cord.

And Verjxon lies about it!
Its all in the spin.
Their definition of a modest increase can be large for Verizon.
I read that Verizon asked that to be able to remove BeIN from lower tiers.
BeIN refused. The reason to do that is that cable companies pay for every subscriber in a tier whether they watch or not. So you have to look at the number of viewers in a package of a channel and decide if there are enough to justify the cost.
Keep in mind that they have also been removed from Comcast. BeIN has brought a complaint to FCC against Comcast. FCC ruled for Comcast. One of the reasons was there was a concern about BeIN's ability to provide content. Why would I sign up for a contract with a provider at a price if I had concerns they will be able to provide content? BeIN has lost some content recently (listed earlier in thread) or hasn't gotten additional US content. Unfortunately for European soccer fans, that is not a big enough draw for a US cable system. You need US content as well. And BeIN doesn't have it.
Because the American content sucks! Thats why we warch Bein Sports!
I informed the Verizon people I spoke with that Verizon has finally succeeded in alienating my affections. If beIN Sports and beIN Sports Espanol are not returned in a month, I am dropping Verizon!
I want my beIn Sports!
Please re-add BeIN Sport to the channel lineup. I can literally identify at least 40 channels that you could drop from my channel lineup and no one in our house would notice because they are junk and a waste of the electrons that it takes to produce the content and transmit them - can I trade them to keep BeIN????
I sent a correspondence to Verizon corporate and they actually called me back to respond to my concern. They said with these contract situations there is a 50/50 chance that they will come to terms. No timeframe given.
I called Verizon too and was transferred to a call center. Nobody had any good answer, as expected. I just took a free trial with Fubo for 7 days. After that, if nothing changed, I will try Sling. It is my intention to unsubscribe from Fios. If you have a smart TV, it is more of less the same to watch through these streaming sites and it is cheaper. Good luck to you guys
I cannot believe that BeIn Sports is no longer available. It will make reconsider my options when my current contract expires. BeIn Sports is one of the very few channels that i personally watch when i'm home. This news is a big problemm for because i can no longer watch MotoGP races. It is ridiculous,
Since you donโt have beIN Sports anymore can you at least give me GolTV in HD now?
I have been a verizon fios user for 12 years. I also use Verizon Wireless for my cell phone. I pay more than $350 per month for my combined bills. If this channel is not returned, I am going to drop the FIOS and get FUBO and drop the wireless and switch to AT&T. What good is any verizon service if I can not get what I want.
