The British broadcaster FreeSports has entered into a partnership with the Polish premier football league PKO BP Ekstraklasa.
As a result, it will show games from the league, which is one of the first to resume during the coronavirus pandemic, from this Saturday, May 30.
The deal between the two parties begins with two games per round until at least 2021. Separately, FreeSports has also entered into an agreement with the Danish Superliga and will be airing one game per round on the FTA channel starting Monday, June1.
Commenting on the development, Richard Sweeney, COO of FreeSports, said : “This is great news for football fans in the UK with the Polish PKO BP Ekstraklasa set to return to our screens. We’re looking forward to bringing viewers two games live from each round live and free across TV platforms and via our FreeSports app”.
Marcin Animucki, president of Ekstraklasa SA, added: “That’s a unique opportunity for us to present our league to a wide group of football fans in Great Britain. I strongly believe that our competitions which are presented in the world class broadcast standard will attract audiences composed of not only Polish expatriates living in the UK, but also international football fans”.
FreeSports is a sister channel to Premier Sports.
