The Premier League has retained beIN MEDIA GROUP as its exclusive broadcast partner across the Middle East and North Africa until the end of the 2027/28 season.
beIN MEDIA GROUP has held exclusive rights to the Premier League in the MENA region since 2013 and will continue to show all 380 matches per season in Arabic and English. Coverage will be available through beIN SPORTS channels and the group’s streaming platform, TOD.
The agreement covers 24 countries and includes additional programming such as pre- and post-match shows, highlights and weekly roundups. The extension has come at a time when the Premier League’s international media rights continue to outpace domestic deals in value growth.
The Premier League’s current domestic broadcast deal will increase to £6.7bn over four years from 2025, with more live matches available in the UK.
Paul Molnar, Chief Media Officer of the Premier League, said, “We are delighted to announce the extension of our longstanding partnership with beIN MEDIA GROUP for a further three seasons in MENA.
“This renewal reflects our shared commitment to delivering world-class football and providing the best possible, localised viewing experience. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration on a variety of content and promotional initiatives, bringing the Premier League even closer to our passionate fans in this important region.”
Mohammad Al-Subaie, CEO of beIN MENA, said, “Our long-standing partnership with the Premier League, which dates back to 2013, has been a journey of mutual growth and shared success.
“This renewal not only signifies our enduring commitment to providing the highest quality sports content on beIN SPORTS and reinforces our leading position in the MENA region, but also demonstrates the trust that the Premier League has in us.“
