DR secures rights to EHF Cup

Danish public-service broadcaster DR has acquired media rights for the men’s European Handball Federation Cup club competition in a deal with EHF Marketing, the federation’s marketing arm.

DR will broadcast coverage of games featuring Danish teams KIF Kolding and Team Tvis Holstebro. DR will show the teams’ matches from the third round of the competition up to the final, if either of the sides progresses to that stage.

DR’s main channel DR1 will show all of the teams’ home matches and also some of their away games, depending on when the contests are scheduled to start.

“We have enjoyed a long and successful partnership with DR showing the matches of the men’s and women’s EHF Champions League,” EHF Marketing managing director Peter Vargo said. “We are very pleased to extend our agreement to include the new EHF Cup and bring this competition to a Danish TV audience for the first time.”
