Awesome, i'll start adding the highlights released on the club pages from now on then. I think the Sky Sports and BT Sport highlights are geolocked.

Yes. Normally all YT pages related to TV channels are geolocked as they only have the rights for their countries. For that reason I always try to use highlights from the YT official league page or from the clubs

In fact Premier League highlights are quite "funny" because everytime I link highlights from clubs channels, some teams don't release highlights if its team don't win or draw, so the quickest way to find always an available highlights video is checking the winning one

Also there're some exceptions, so for example, ESPN & FOX release highlights for motorsports and Magenta Sport for all german events

PS: When I found a new YT channel, I always use check with a free VPN (TouchVPN, a Firefox extension) which let me check as I was in different countries (UK, US, Russia, Canda, France, Germany & Netherlands)

Nice tips! Will keep that in mind

I saw on Reddit today that the "FreeDawkins" channel which has done NBA highlights for 5+ years has been shutdown finally. Big shame really as they were great highlights and worked worldwide.
