TNT Sports has agreed a sublicensing deal with DAZN to secure rights to selected games from the UEFA Women’s Champions League and French, Spanish and German women’s football.
The deal, which starts from this season and will apply to the UK and Ireland, will see TNT Sports broadcast one game per match week during the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage as well as the quarter-final, semi-final, and the final itself.
Under the same license agreement with DAZN, TNT Sports will screen one game a week from some of women’s football’s top division leagues in Europe: Division 1 Arkema (France), Liga F (Spain) and the Google Pixel Frauen Bundesliga (Germany).
Coverage will begin with the women’s El Clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF from the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday 19th November.
Trojan Paillot, SVP Sports Rights Acquisitions and Syndication, Warner Bros. Discovery Europe, said, “As a multi-sport broadcaster, it is our responsibility to reflect the diversity of our audiences and society. Our mission is to bring parity to live coverage of world-class sport irrespective of gender and we have made it our mission to illuminate the stories of female athletes all year-round.
“To enable this, we always look for opportunities to expand our women’s sport portfolio to offer fans the greatest choice and we are therefore delighted to collaborate with DAZN to show UEFA Women’s Champions League games in the UK and Ireland alongside some of the best matches from the top European leagues.
“We plan to support the burgeoning interest in women’s football in this country and to serve fans with the coverage and content the players deserve to support the continued growth of the sport for all to enjoy.”
