Starting on November 17, the multi-year television rights deal will see the free-to-air channel show 95 games from the expanded 10 team league. The rights package will feature a triple-header of games each week, starting with delayed ‘as live’ coverage on Friday and Saturday evenings, followed by a live broadcast of matches on Sunday afternoons.
No financial figures in regard to the deal signed has been disclosed by the parties involved.
“Free-to-air football is a rarity these days and we’re delighted to bring one of the world’s most up and coming leagues to the masses.”
The deal was brokered by Birmingham based sports agency Sporting Group International.
