Mexican commercial broadcaster TV Azteca has agreed a rights deal with the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol to televise the country’s baseball competition on a free-to-air basis.
The agreement includes the 2017 Serie del Rey and will extend to cover competitions in 2018.
TV Azteca becomes the Liga’s official free-to-air partner with the deal marking the organisation’s return to such a platform.
The agreement will formally commence tomorrow (Tuesday) with the Serie del Rey. In 2018, TV Azteca will offer up to three weekly games from the regular season, as well as playoff games and the two finals series.
