BT Sport hold on to Champions League rights

BT Sport has held on to exclusive live and highlights rights for the Champions League and Europa League after beating off competition from Sky and ITV.

A new three-year-deal will see every game shown from the Champions and Europa Leagues and the new Europa Conference League.

It’s a crucial deal for BT which would have been left with just Premier League games as its main footie offering if it had lost the Europeans rights with the broadcaster’s contracts to show the Scottish Premiership and FA Cup not being renewed.

The deal, worth £400million a season, will see BT Sport show:

  • 420 games a season from the Champions, Europa and new Conference League
  • Highlights will also be exclusively on BT Sport, although goals, match highlights packages and key moments will be available free via BT’s social media, online site, digital platforms and app.
  • The finals of all thee competitions will again be available FREE-TO-AIR on BT’s various digital platforms including YouTube and the app.

The Champions League has been on BT since 2015 and exclusively since last season.

Sky and ITV are believed to have teamed up to try and snatch the rights from BT. However, neither was willing to match what BT were prepared to pay. The rights are more significant to BT than Sky as Sky has a much bigger portfolio of domestic football rights with the pick of the Premier League matches, the EFL and Carabao Cup and from next season the Scottish Premiership exclusively.

The Premier League has confirmed the December and January live TV games – including Amazon Prime Video’s full schedule of two complete rounds of fixtures.

Amazon won two packages of games (20 in total) from the first December midweek and the Boxing Day set of fixtures. It’s the first time the league has allowed every game from an entire match round to all be broadcast live.

Boxing Day’s games will see matches screened across multiple slots while BT Sport is also showing every New Year’s Day fixture across several time slots.

In an epic period which will see more Christmas and New Year Premier League games shown than ever before, Sky Sports also has some of the biggest matches of the season in its schedule over the two-month period including Man City v Man United, Arsenal v Man City, Spurs v Liverpool, Liverpool v Man United and Spurs v Chelsea.

Amazon’s live games will be produced by the same team which works on BT Sport’s Premier League coverage although it’s not clear yet who will front coverage.

Premier Sports and FreeSports seal La Liga TV deal

Posted on by Leave a comment

Mzwm-ZYz

Premier Sports has sealed a deal to show live La Liga action for the next three seasons – with selected games being shown free-to-air on sister channel FreeSports.

It means every La Liga game will be shown on UK TV live, apart from those that clash with the 3pm Saturday blackout period which will be shown on delay.

In addition to games shown on Premier, LaLiga TV – a 24-hour dedicated channel to Spain’s top division – will also be available to Premier subscribers, initially on the online Premier Player and soon as part of a Premier bundle of channels on Sky. Virgin will also offer it at a later date.

LaLiga TV shows live games as well as magazine shows LaLiga World, VIVA LaLiga and The LaLiga Show.

The deal ends an uncertain time for LaLiga on UK TV after it refused to award the rights due to what the league described as unsatisfactory bids from broadcasters.

A short-term deal saw matches from the first three match rounds shown on live on ITV 4 free-to-air.

It’s not clear how many free-to-air matches will be shown by Premier, but over the next couple of weekends they are making two games available live on FreeSports.

FreeSports will show a weekly La Liga highlights show as well.

The first game of the new agreement is on Friday (September 13) with Mallorca v Athletic Club on FreeSports and Premier Sports 1.

ITV seal short-term La Liga deal

Posted on by Leave a comment

ITV4

ITV has struck what appears to be a short-term deal to show the opening few matches from the new La Liga season.

UK TV fans were facing a blackout from the Spanish competition after La Liga said no “satisfactory” bids had been made by broadcasters when the rights were put up for grabs in the summer.

ITV and Premier Sports stepped in to take on some live games in the final months of last season after online-only subscription service Eleven Sports flopped.

Eleven were showing all La Liga matches outside the UK Saturday 3pm-5pm blackout period after wrestling exclusive rights from Sky Sports which had shown the competition for more than 20 years.

Only three games have been confirmed as being shown on ITV 4 from the new season with discussions believed to be on-going for a longer-term arrangement.

You will be able to see Amazon Prime’s LIVE Premier League games in the pub

Posted on by Leave a comment

eonrf-pu_400x400-3Amazon Prime’s 20 live Premier League games will be available to watch in pubs and clubs after a deal was struck with BT Sport.

Amazon have the rights to two entire rounds of live games (the first December midweek and the Boxing Day fixtures, see below).

The Daily Telegraph reports that BT Sport will market a special Amazon pass for pubs so the games can be shown through existing set-top box equipment.

The two companies have already come together over the rights with BT producing Amazon’s live coverage. BT Sport’s team will provide the production for all 20 games behind the scenes, but it’s not clear yet whether BT’s on-air talent will host the matches on-screen.
