Glory details multi-year rights deal with ESPN

Kickboxing promotion Glory has sealed a multi-year rights deal with US sports broadcaster ESPN.

The two parties have worked together since November of last year.

ESPN has already streamed live coverage of the Glory 25 Milan and Glory 26 Amsterdam events on its ESPN3 digital service, with each event replayed on its ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes television channels.

ESPN has now expanded on this by streaming coverage of Saturday’s Glory 27 Chicago event on ESPN3, with replays due to be broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes today (Monday).

Glory will release details of more events that will be shown on ESPN platforms as the programming schedule unfolds.
