BBC Agree Broadcast Deal For Copa Libertadores Final And International Swimming League
November 22, 2019
The BBC has acquired two new broadcast deals in the week it lost the rights to show the Masters live to Sky Sports.
South America’s major football competition the Copa Libertadores, will have its final broadcast on BBC as Flamengo play current champions River Plate.
They have also gained the rights to the International Swimming League’s event in London this weekend.
ISL is a brand new franchise competition launched this year, which has seen huge success, and the London match will be shown live this weekend.
ISL President Konstantin Grigorishin said: “We are very pleased to secure streaming coverage with the BBC for the ISL London match. This agreement shows the great interest that is developing around our ground-breaking professional league that regularly showcases our sport’s stars.
“We have partnered with premium networks in six continents for the first season of the ISL, and we expect more to come on board as awareness of the league grows amongst sports fans who enjoy this revolutionary competition.”
