Bein Extends Rights Deal To Broadcast UEFA Club Competitions Until 2027

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) beIN MEDIA GROUP (“beIN”) and UC3, the UEFA-ECA joint venture, have extended their long-standing media rights agreement, ensuring beIN SPORTS, the network's flagship sports channel, will continue to broadcast European football's premier club competitions live and exclusive across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia until 2027.
The partnership between the leading global sports broadcaster and UEFA Club competitions dates back to 2012/13. As part of the extension, beIN will broadcast the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women's Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Conference League across 33 markets for a further three years, until the end of the 2026/27 season.
The revamped format debuted this year across all three men's competitions featuring 36-team leagues rather than group stages bringing 20% more matches to beIN subscribers in 23 countries across the Mena region and 10 countries in Asia. The new format for the UEFA Women's Champions League, featuring 18-team leagues, will begin in the 2025/26 season.
Mohammed al-Subaie, CEO of beIN Mena, said:“With UEFA's new competition format living up to its promise and producing huge matches from matchday one, we are delighted that beIN will continue to bring this new era to our subscribers in Mena and Asia. beIN has been home to elite European club football for more than a decade now, providing award-winning coverage of every game, insights from a wide range of world-class analysts and experts, and exclusive interviews with the most influential figures in the game. We are proud of our partnership with UC3 and to extend it once again is testament to our position as the global home of football.”
As with this year, beIN will retain the exclusive rights to all matches across the Mena and Asia regions, broadcasting games simultaneously across its beIN SPORTS bouquet until the end of the 2027 season.
