Canal+ has secured the rights to Poland’s premier football league Ekstraklasa for 2011-14.
Although the rights will also be sub-licensed to the Polsat Group and Eurosport, local media reports suggest that the agreement with Canal+ could be terminated after a year should Ekstraklasa go ahead with plans to launch its own football channel.
Although no price has been reported, Canal+ is known to have paid PLN360 million (€91.8 million) for the rights for the period 2008-11.
