Football fans in Poland will continue to enjoy Spanish football on ELEVEN SPORTS and CANAL+. The broadcasters have acquired exclusive rights to broadcast LaLiga Santander matches for the seasons 2021/22 – 2025/26.
ELEVEN SPORTS and CANAL+ will continue to exclusively broadcast five live matches per round on each network, sharing the first pick of the matches alternately. The exception to this rule will be the clashes between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, the famous ElClásico, which will be broadcast simultaneously on both stations. The new agreement will also allow ELEVEN SPORTS and CANAL+ to broadcast one match per round from LaLiga SmartBank, second professional competition in Spain, while also showing additional programming focused on LaLiga.
The broadcasting rights to LaLiga were acquired from LaLiga by ELEVEN SPORTS which sublicensed them to CANAL+.
"LaLiga has been a very important part of ELEVEN’s programming offer since the network started to operate. We are delighted to be able to guarantee fans this top European league on our channels for the next five seasons”, said Krzysztof Świergiel, CEO and a member of the Board at ELEVEN SPORTS. "Viewers of ELEVEN will be offered not only live games, but also special programming dedicated to the Spanish competition as well as live pre-game studio shows before the most exciting matches. Furthermore, a long-term agreement with LaLiga enables us to continue building a strong relationship with this organisation and to promote the competition through joint projects.”
"The sports rights market is becoming more and more demanding every year, so we are pleased to announce the extension and securing of these important rights for fans for as the next five years. Importantly, CANAL+ customers will still be able to conveniently follow all LaLiga Santander matches on one platform through satellite TV or CANAL+ television via the internet. In addition to great live matches, there will also be interesting magazine shows dedicated to Spanish football, where every football fan will find something for themselves.” said Edyta Sadowska, President of the Management Board and Managing Director of CANAL+ Polska.
ELEVEN SPORTS channels are available on DTH, IPTV and cable platforms as well as through online services, including ELEVEN SPORTS' own service (elevensports.pl), in the IPLA’s offer and in the SPORT package in the CANAL+ television via Internet service.
All LaLiga Santander match broadcasts can be conveniently watched via the CANAL+ television via Internet service available on Android and iOS devices, Android TV, Apple TV, the CANAL+BOX 4K decoder and the oglądaj.canalplus.pl website.
