BT outbids Sky, ITV to win Champions League rights

2013-11-11 10:39:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) BT has won the exclusive live broadcast rights to all 350 matches from both the Champions League and UEFA Europa League tournaments. The rights run for three seasons from 2015/2016. Both finals will be offered free on BT Sport, along with matches from earlier rounds. This is the first time a single UK broadcaster has won the exclusive live rights to all matches from both tournaments. BT has agreed to pay around GBP 299 million a season for the rights, and insists it can pay this without changing its current financial outlook. BT will pay a deposit of around GBP 60 million in November followed by six-monthly instalments from July 2015.
