K+ Extends Premier League Rights Deal
Digital satellite television group K+ has extended its deal as the exclusive broadcaster of the Premier League in Vietnam for the next three seasons.
The broadcaster, a subsidiary of the France-based international broadcaster Canal Plus Group, will show all 380 matches per season until the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Matches will be available across all of its linear and streaming platforms, including satellite television channel K+ Premium, plus over-the-top streaming, cable and IPTV networks.
Highlights of Premier League matches will be available on the K+ Sports YouTube and Facebook channels. In addition to securing the rights to broadcast live games, K+ will also provide football fans with a range of interactive and magazine shows.
The deal extends a long-standing partnership between the Premier League and K+ that dates back to 2010.
K+’s sports offering also includes tennis’ grand slams and the men’s ATP Tour, as well as Formula One, PGA Tour golf and the Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts promotion.
The deal in Vietnam comes after a series of other agreements were confirmed recently between the Premier League and broadcasters in different Asian markets. Premier League officials last month signed six-year rights agreements with StarHub in Singapore and Sky in New Zealand, as well as agreeing a three-year deal with Now TV in Hong Kong.
