Polsat, the Polish terrestrial and satellite broadcaster, has extended its deal to cover top-tier European volleyball action until the end of 2028-29.
The agreement marks the retention of rights which Polsat has held since 2020 and has been struck with the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) governing body. The current deal lasts until 2025, meaning this represents a four-year extension.

Marian Kmita, Polsat’s sports director, said: “The Polish final in the CEV Champions League is the fulfillment of our dreams as a broadcaster who has been supporting the development for over 20 years.
