Fanseat strikes deals with British Basketball, FFHG

Sports streaming platform Fanseat has agreed rights deals with the British Basketball governing body and the French Ice Hockey Federation (FFHG).

Under the deal with British Basketball, Fanseat will provide free live streaming of Great Britain’s home qualifying games for the 2017 EuroBasket competition.

Great Britain will take on Macedonia on September 3, followed by games against Luxembourg and Hungary on September 7 and September 10, respectively. Fanseat will stream all three games via www.fanseat.com, as well as through its mobile and tablet application.

Highlights and video content will also be available via British Basketball’s social and digital media channels. Fanseat’s service is priced at just over £6.50 (€7.50/$8.50) a month, but is free for the first 30 days. This period encompasses Great Britain’s games.

Meanwhile, Fanseat has struck a three-season deal to cover the Ligue Magnus, the top division of French ice hockey.

The agreement with the FFHG and Ligue Magnus clubs covers the 2016-17 to 2018-19 seasons and includes all games from the league, as well as the Coupe de France tournament from the round of 16 stage.
