Sky and Baller League have announced a one-year broadcast partnership which will see Sky Sports become the TV home of the new indoor six-a-side competition in the UK.
Every match from the inaugural UK season will be shown live on Sky Sports linear channels on Monday nights from the Copper Box Arena in London. Coverage will also be available on YouTube and Twitch.
O2 has been named as the headline sponsor for the UK launch, offering exclusive match tickets, VIP access, and must-have merch for O2 and Virgin Media customers via the operator’s Priority app.
In its first two seasons in Germany, Baller League attracted a massive following and is supported in the UK by a host of major football legends, including Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljunberg.
Season 1 of the competition will run for 11 consecutive Mondays at the Copper Box Arena, starting on the 24 March, with the top four teams taking part in the semi-finals and final to determine the season’s winner. Each night features six 30-minute matches.
