Channel 5 have previously covered pre-season friendly games in the run up to new seasons and have done since 1999. Two games from Liverpool's pre season tour were shown in July 2008 with Channel 5's current UEFA Europa League at the helm. Occasional charity games, such as those featuring a team of England Legends, have also been shown on Channel 5. They showed The Carlberg Belfast Challenge in 1998, which Liverpool were in, The Gelderland Tournament the same year with Chelsea and Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial and anything else they could grab in the early days.
