Pavel Stanchev, chief executive of TV2 Media Group, said: “The TV2 Group is committed to making Spíler channels host the highest quality football events. The top three leagues are the English Premier League, LaLiga and Bundesliga.

“After successfully winning Premier League and LaLiga broadcast rights for years to come, we thought it would be a real surprise for our loyal spectators to be able to see matches from the Bundesliga rounds with us as well. We hope that our cooperation with Network4… will extend to other new sporting events for both groups in the future.”
