From this summer, MySports will be the new TV home for the Bundesliga matches broadcast by Sky Deutschland. UPC has landed its latest major coup for MySports by entering into the partnership. All Bundesliga matches for which Sky owns the rights will be shown exclusively on MySports in Switzerland via cable and IPTV.
UPC has secured the distribution rights for the German football Bundesliga for MySports by entering into a partnership with Sky Deutschland. This means that one of Europe’s most popular football leagues will be shown on MySports – starting this coming season. This cooperation marks another fundamental shake-up of the Swiss sports TV market.
UPC and the 15 distribution partners will show all Bundesliga games on MySports for which Sky owns the rights – that is 572 Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga matches per year in total.
