Premier Sports has secured rights to UEFA National Team football in the UK including exclusive Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland fixtures from 2022-2024.
In all the pay-TV channel will have rights to over 400 live games Sports in the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League and the European Qualifiers to UEFA EURO 2024. It will hold exclusive coverage of 60 games featuring Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland men’s teams from June 2022 to June 2024 and live rights to all other games involving non-UK national teams.
Richard Sweeney, CEO, Premier Sports commented “This summer when the domestic seasons ends, our subscribers will enjoy a feast of international football with live coverage of the UEFA Nations League where every game matters as it provides a potential route to qualification for UEFA EURO 2024. From 2023 we will bring fans every game of their team’s vital qualification process towards UEFA EURO 2024.”
The deal is the latest realignment in who holds which international sports rights with Sky Sports, which has previously held a package of rights to international football, and potentially fans both on the losing side as rights are increasingly spread out over a wider range of channels.
Last month, Viaplay announced it had secured the rights to England matches for its new UK streaming service.
