Freesports picks up UK, Ireland rights to Major League Wrestling

Digital terrestrial television broadcaster FreeSports has signed a deal with US-based Major League Wrestling to broadcast in the UK and Ireland its weekly MLW Fusion programme as well as special events.

The partnership starts with a 2-hour special on Tuesday featuring the 2019 Battle Riot, while MLW Fusion will air every Monday.

FreeSports’ sports rights portfolio includes football, MMA, basketball and athletics, amongst others.

The broadcaster acquired UK rights earlier this year to the remainder of this season’s Coupe de France club football competition.
