The EuroBasket deal bolsters MagentaSport’s basketball portfolio which includes rights to this summer’s FIBA men’s World Cup, all German national team matches, the domestic Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), and the EuroLeague and EuroCup club competitions.

However, from the 2023-24 season, BBL rights will switch to Dyn Media, the new streaming platform launched by publishing giant Axel Springer and Christian Seifert, former chief executive of the German Football League, after it outbid Deutsche Telekom last year.

Arnim Butzen, head of TV at Telekom, said: “Top international basketball is becoming more and more attractive for German fans and our customers. 

“We see that in the remarkable development of viewership, especially in the EuroLeague. Our strategy of deliberately focusing on the top European leagues with strong German clubs is paying off.”
