Belgian Football Returns to Telenet Screens After DAZN Deal

Belgian football fans can rejoice as Telenet has secured a deal to broadcast the Jupiler Pro League, Challenger Pro League, and Women Super League once again. After a season where matches were exclusively available on the DAZN app, this new agreement ensures that the top Belgian leagues will return to linear television through Telenet's Play Sports package.

DAZN has always had the ambition to make the biggest sports competitions and events accessible to as many fans as possible.

This development is a significant win for supporters who prefer watching games on traditional TV. The inclusion of other major European leagues like La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, as well as the NBA, further sweetens the deal for Telenet subscribers. DAZN's managing director, Massimo D'Amario, emphasized the company's commitment to making major sports accessible to a wider audience, a goal clearly achieved with this partnership.

This distribution agreement with Telenet once again underlines that commitment.

From a Belgian perspective, this ensures that domestic football remains easily accessible to a broad audience, maintaining its presence on a widely used platform. The return to linear television is particularly important for older demographics or those less comfortable with streaming apps. This agreement underscores the value placed on local sports content and the importance of ensuring its availability through established channels, reflecting a preference for traditional viewing habits within the country.

From the start of next season, Telenet sports fans can choose the experience and access they prefer to watch the best sports content.
