Nova secures French football coverage

Greek pay-television broadcaster Nova has sealed rights deals covering the French Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue and Trophée des Champions club football competitions.

The lengths of the deals, which will begin with the 2018-19 season, were not disclosed.

Earlier this month, Nova secured rights for Serie A, the top football division in Italy, also from the 2018-19 season.

In May, with the top division of domestic football in Greece moving away from a collective rights sales model, Nova confirmed deals with five Superleague clubs from the 2018-19 campaign – Athlitiki Enosi Larissa, Asteras Tripolis, Levadiakos, Panionios and PAS Giannina – to add to agreements that had already been reached with AEK Athens, Olympiacos and PAOK.
