It is the broadcaster’s longest-running rights contract.

Sportdigital Fussball provides 24/7 soccer coverage, with rights to show around 800 live matches per season from 21 international leagues.

The operator’s portfolio also includes Portugal’s Primeira Liga, Polish Ekstraklasa, North America’s MLS, and the Japanese J-League.

Earlier this week, IMG extended its international rights distribution deal with the Eredivisie for another three seasons until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

IMG has held the global rights to the 18-team league for 20 years, with the last extension coming in May 2017 and running through until the end of June this year.

Domestic Eredivisie rights are held by ESPN, the international heavyweight sports broadcaster, in a 12-year deal running through until 2025 worth around €80 million (now $81.5 million) per season.
