Broadcasting Rights Secured for Upcoming Tournaments

Football and rugby fans will see significant broadcasting changes in the upcoming seasons. The UEFA Champions League will now be aired by Amazon Prime Video and the BBC alongside TNT Sports from 2024 to 2027, marking the BBC's first involvement with the tournament, which will include highlights and finals coverage. Meanwhile, Premier Sports will take over broadcasting the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup from TNT Sports, committing to airing all 63 Champions Cup matches and enhancing rugby coverage in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, ITV and the BBC will share broadcasting responsibilities for the Women's Euro 2025, with both networks covering half of the matches, including the final. These changes reflect a broader trend of diversifying sports broadcasting in the UK, with various networks vying for rights to popular tournaments. The UEFA and EPCR have both reported substantial financial agreements, indicating a booming market for sports media rights.
