Football mad students will be able to get Setanta Sports on their mobiles if they have Orange as their service provider.
Orange has announced the deal with Setanta that makes it the first mobile TV provider that gives access to every televised match of the Premier League. Orange already has a deal with Sky to provide its services via mobile.
Steve Wallage, head of sports partnerships at Orange, said: "This partnership is all about bringing customers closer to the game they love. The addition of the Setanta Sports package to our existing football portfolio was essential to ensure our customers don't miss any of this season's action - we're now the true home for 'football on your mobile'."
Setanta's UK marketing director added that no serious football fan would risk missing their team's progress this season and the deal with Orange "means that need never happen".
The service is available now and students will be pleased to hear it is only £5 a month. This gives subscribers access to Setanta Sports 1, Setanta Sports 2 and Setanta Golf.
Setanta is currently showing live Premier League games for the first time, this season, having won part of the contract off its rival Sky.
