German pay-TV broadcaster Sky Deutschland will transmit selected live sports coverage from streaming portal DAZN via satellite for Sky sports bars in Germany and Austria.
As part of the three-year collaboration, Sky will offer two linear DAZN channels in HD quality on Astra (19.2° East). Sky sports bars visitors can thus continue to watch all matches of the German teams in the UEFA Champions League as well as all top games of the UEFA Europa League live.
Background: Sky and DAZN will share the Champions League rights from the 2018/19 season; DAZN is the sole owner of the Europa League rights.
Additionally, games from international leagues such as the UK’s Premier League and the Spanish La Liga as well as the Tennis WTA Tour, darts, NBA and other sports will be shown on the two DAZN satellite channels – up to 14 hours of live sports per day.
Besides Astra, the two linear DAZN channels will in future also be made available to sports bars served by cable networks.
