Confirms wins rights for La Liga Football for 2019-2022
Been provisionally declared winner of the tender to acquire the rights to broadcast all the paid LFP matches in the residential market for the 2019-2022 cycle (packages 4 and 5). The award was made at an identical price for each of the three seasons (980 million euros), which equates to a slight deflation versus the last season of the 2016-2019 cycle. The direct award to Telefónica of these rights for the new cycle gives the operator the power to decide, design and develop the content, which will carry the Movistar label as of the 2019-2020 season. The net cost of the rights implies an even higher deflation of more than 5%. Other operators will share in the savings and the concrete impact on each one will depend on the number of them that rent the channels that Movistar will put on sale.
