August 8, 2017
Lega Serie A and its advisor Infront Sports & Media, a Wanda Sports company, have published the invitation to tender for international audio-visual rights to the Serie A Championship, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana for the 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons.
The tender will open on 11th August, with the details published on the Lega Serie A website www.legaseriea.it.
After a recent international roadshow – in which Lega Serie A and Infront met a variety of stakeholders to give details on the tender – the official document is being made available to potential bidders.
The invitation to tender has been built on a regional approach. Continents, regions and individual territories will be able to take up programming with the Serie A Championship, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana all offered as part of the same bidding process.

All offers must be received by 15 September, 5 pm CET. Lega Serie A will then start the selection process, considering bids and awarding rights to any offers considered suitable.
