Czech And Slovak Epl Rights Secured
Pay-TV provider CANAL+ has reached strategic agreements with Slovak Telekom, DIGI Slovakia, and T-Mobile Czech Republic to show English Premier League football in Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The participating parties agreed on the broadcast rights of the English Premier League for up to three years, meaning that access to all 380 games in the 2022/23 Premier League season will be available for Czech and Slovakian football fans via the CANAL+ Sport TV channel.
CANAL+ will broadcast in HD quality and offer Czech and Slovak commentary for free.
Berk Uziyel, CEO of SPI International, part of the CANAL+ group and in charge of B2B distribution of CANAL+ products within the territories, commented, “The Canal+ brand will debut in the Czech and Slovak market with great strength.
“Our partnership with Slovak Telekom, DIGI Slovakia and T-Mobile Czech Republic will allow more viewers to access great content from the English Premier League in addition to our existing viewers in Skylink and Freesat.
“Canal+ will continue to strengthen its content offering, as we will further enhance it with the additional products bundled from SPI and its distribution by partnerships, allowing viewers to enjoy great products.”
The deal follows the recent news that LaLiga and CANAL+ renewed their deal for the league’s pay TV French language rights in Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and Mauritius.
