For a period of two months starting on October 13, overseas viewers were denied live viewing due to a region lock.<ref>https://twitter.com/jellicode/status/1580869255448645633</ref> The league used copyrighted music, which prevented overseas broadcasting. In the interim, Abema provided VoD within a 24 hour period from a live cast for sections without the copyrighted music. Eventually, the situation was rectified; and live overseas broadcasting resumed on December 12.<ref>https://twitter.com/jellicode/status/1602245552216936448</ref>
