ESPN Africa Secures ROSHN Saudi League Broadcast Rights

ESPN Africa has secured exclusive broadcast rights to the Saudi Pro League, also known as the ROSHN Saudi League, for the 2025-26 season, offering live coverage of three matches per round to football fans across sub-Saharan Africa. The broadcasts will feature top clubs like Al Nassr, Al Ahli, Al Hilal, and Al Ittihad, as well as key tournaments including the Saudi Super Cup and the King's Cup from the quarter-finals onward. The league boasts high-profile international stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, and João Félix, alongside a growing contingent of African talent from countries including Senegal, Algeria, Egypt, and Morocco. This partnership with ESPN Africa deepens the Saudi Pro League's presence in a vital commercial and cultural market, expanding its global footprint and providing fans with access to world-class football content. DAZN has also enhanced its free-to-air offerings by creating a content hub for the Saudi Pro League highlights and related content, further strengthening its relationship with Saudi Arabia following the Public Investment Fund's investment in the streamer. Together, these developments reflect the Saudi Pro League's rising international profile and its increasing appeal across Africa.
