La Liga President: “UK TV deal imminent”

Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, has claimed a new TV rights deal for the UK and Ireland will be in place before the season’s fourth weekend of fixtures (September 13th).

Having failed to agree a long-term media rights deal before the start of the 2019/20 season, the Spanish top-flight football league signed a short-term agreement with ITV, which saw the FTA broadcaster cover one match for the first three rounds of fixtures up to the current international break.

Speaking to SportsPro, Tebas said a new rights deal will be signed before the next round of fixtures, after the international break.

“Before the fourth matchday begins there will be news and will announce where you can watch Spanish football in the UK and Ireland. We’re working on this now,” he said.

Tebas gave no hints as to who the broadcaster could be, but added: “It will have better access to Spanish football in the UK and Ireland compared to the beginning of last season.”

Lets hope the La Liga President has taken some lessons on board and learnt from before.

have a horrible feeling it'll follow italian football onto premier sports. have no idea how they have the money to get these since surely their subscriptions are on the low end? Yet BT and Sky can't be arsed by the sound of it but put their bills up again and again...weird

Premier Sports put some of them on FreeSports last time I think. They certainly have with the Italian matches.
