Eleven Sports Network widens reach in Poland

International pay-television operator Eleven Sports Network has broadened its reach in Poland by agreeing a carriage deal with telco Netia.

Netia will provide the Eleven and Eleven Sports channels to subscribers on its pay-television service GigaOferty. The two channels will initially be available for free to GigaOferty customers, with the offer expiring on September 30.

The agreement was reached ahead of the launch of Eleven Sports Network’s second channel – Eleven Sports – across multiple markets on Saturday. The launch was tied in to the start of the Italian Serie A football season, for which Eleven holds rights.

The Netia deal comes after Eleven Sports Network signed a carriage partnership earlier this month with Polish media group TVN.
