Ziggo Sport acquires exclusive rights to UEFA club football

UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League under one roof for the first time

10 november 2022

Ziggo Sport has acquired the exclusive 2024/2027 media rights to the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Starting in the 2024/2025 football season, this will bring the most important European club competitions under one roof for the first time. All the competitions and highlights will be available exclusively on Ziggo Sport.

The agreements with UEFA are valid for three football seasons: from mid-2024 to mid-2027. Ziggo Sport will be further developing its programming in the coming months. Everyone in the Netherlands will be able to stream all of the football matches played by the participating Dutch clubs free via the Ziggo GO app. Ziggo customers will also be able to watch the most important matches on channel 14. How much Ziggo Sport paid for the rights was not disclosed.

Love of football
Marcel Beerthuizen, Director of Ziggo Sport, knows like no other how to bring sport into every living room, be it car racing, Dutch top sport or international football. He is happy the company has succeeded in acquiring the UEFA rights: “This is an important step for Ziggo Sport. We believe the best sports content belongs on the biggest Dutch sports channel. Our track record, long-standing partnership with UEFA and love of football means that from now on, you can tune in to Ziggo Sport for UEFA club football.”

Distinguishing itself
Jeroen Hoencamp, CEO of VodafoneZiggo, says that this step is an important part of the company’s strategy: “VodafoneZiggo always wants to offer customers the best viewing experience and the best entertainment. Ziggo Sport has been distinguishing itself from competitors for years in the way we bring sports to every living room. It’s only natural that international football is part of that, including UEFA club football. The sports channel is thus a vital part of our content strategy.”
