Disney+ Secures Three-Year LaLiga Streaming Deal UK, Ireland

News summary

Disney+ has secured a three-year deal to exclusively broadcast LaLiga's Saturday 8:30 p.m. BST kick-off matches in the UK and Ireland starting with the 2025-26 season, featuring top clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona and English stars such as Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. ESPN, Disney's multi-platform sports brand, will produce the live matches, and additional LaLiga content, including highlights, will be available across ESPN's digital platforms. Alongside this, Gary Lineker’s Goalhanger Films has partnered with LaLiga to launch a video-first podcast, The Rest is Football: LaLiga, offering clips and expert analysis on YouTube and Spotify, capitalizing on rising UK interest in Spanish football. Premier Sports will remain the primary broadcaster for the majority of LaLiga games in the region, while Disney+ complements this with select high-profile matches, continuing a model similar to ITV's previous partial coverage. The LaLiga broadcast production has transitioned from Mediapro to Swiss firm HBS and Spain's TSA, impacting international feed distribution and coverage formats. This LaLiga deal follows Disney+'s broader sports expansion, including exclusive rights to the UEFA Women's Champions League in Europe from 2025 to 2030.
