Somewhere between options 1 and 2, don't really care for the other games, but watch quite a few of them if there's nothing better on TV.

Every LFC game (that I can) and as much Bundesliga (and a few 2. Bundesliga) games as I can (big, small or medium games) is my choice, so wherever that fits  :P

Every Liverpool game I can.

I've no interest in other English games or International matches.

If they were on, and no LFC game was on at the same time, I'd probably tune in to watch a European match if Ajax or Benfica were playing. At one time I'd have tuned in for a Barcelona game too, but I've lost interest in them these days.

I voted option 3 but I watch every single LFC game. The ones I can't go to or not on telly I'll listen on the radio.

I watch most televised Premier League games unless it's a nothing to play for game or just a really dismal game like Newcastle vs Burnley or something like that.

I used to watch La Liga most weekends but when Sky lost the rights I stopped watching. Never watched much, if any of any other league.

Newcastle aren't on my boring list. I think theyre usually entertaining. Burnley v Stoke would be an avoider

I watch every LFC game obviously and any night there's a game on television I'll watch that once I have the channel. I'll only go searching for streams for other games if it's a big game in that country.
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

It's never off the tv.

Although I don't watch any other top Leagues we do watch some Championship games as Paul's a Barnsley fan and my kids are Wednesday fans. 

We also watch FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League games.

We do watch internationals when it's the Euros or World Cup though I'm not particularly bothered about friendlies or qualifiers but Paul likes to watch them.

Obviously every LFC game, league, cup or continental. Usually other PL games too, unless they are  brighton-watford or such dross.

Some matches from the Championship, not really much but just stuck with it as Pukki was playing there with Norwich last season. (and will be when the next one starts  ;D)

Celtic/Rangers matches from the SPL.

Some matches from the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2, Mainly Bayern due to having friends in Bavaria.

And for Finnish NT players Hradecky (Leverkusen), Jensen (Augsburg) and Pohjanpalo (HSV).

I certainly watch less non Liverpool games than ever these days. Maybe because we're the benchmark now and everything else feels like a letdown.

Now that Australian free-to-air TV has lost the PL, CL and World Cup, I watch all Liverpool games on the website (and now that I'm busy raising kids, many games I only watch the 10 minute highlights) and nothing else. The only thing left on free-to-air is the A-League, but I can't get interested in that.

When I lived in England I always watched any games on Sky when I was at home or the pub. When I lived in France I watched all LFC games at the local suppirters' branch pub, went to a few Ligue 1 games but never bothered with it on TV.

TL;DR: if I had time and access, I'd watch :
- all LFC
- all CL
- all World Cup
- big PL games (no Burnley vs Stoke bullshit)
- occasional Bundesliga

I can't remember the last LFC game I missed - probably to the detriment of my wider social output.

During a normal season I'll also watch most other big premier league games on a given weekend but I've dropped off from watching European leagues almost completely.

All things considered, this pandemic has left quite the hole in my weekly routine.

100% this.  I watch matches that don't involve us and they seem so uneventful and pedestrian.

Any down time I have I always look for a game to watch before I turn to something car/history/war type of programme..so that pretty much puts me in the 3rd option.

Lately? None  ;D

I barely ever miss an LFC match in some form. Used to include the pilgramage to Anfield but in my dole-era this has been replaced with streams or LFCTV. It's extremely rare a match won't be online SOMEWHERE. Even if I'm on holiday I've managed to find somewhere showing our match  ;D I watch the youth games occasionally, and stuff like legends games.

I'll watch to some extent any game shown in the boozer I happen to be in (I don't go the boozer specifically to do this though). Can't say I ever set aside time to tune into any non LFC match barring finals or massive PL clashes that are useful to us. Might flick on a stream then.

A bit like my relationship with internationals really - I know it's there can't really be invested if it's not my beloved Liverpool and I'm not a student of the game more than I am a supporter

Other Top 6 games/UCL games I watch only if it's of consequence to us.

Same.

Wouldn't be watching a nothing Championship or League One game but if it was of interest then I would. Same with other countries' leagues.
