ProLiga TV channel to show lower-league Spanish football

The ProLiga association, which represents football clubs in Spain’s third-tier Segunda División B and fourth-tier Tercera División competitions, has agreed a deal with Mallorca-based production company Fibwi to launch a new television channel.

The dedicated channel will feature live coverage of games, as well as the latest news and highlights from the Spanish lower leagues.

Fibwi will produce coverage to be shown via the channel and will also distribute the signal. The channel will be available via smartphone applications and decoders.

Financial details of the agreement have not been disclosed, but ProLiga president Oscar Garvin said ProLiga TV will aim to “improve the economy of clubs, allowing us to create structures to improve our football on a day-to-day basis”.

Garvin added that the channel will originally feature live coverage of one match per week with the possibility of increasing that number as there are “no limits”, according to the Mira Jerez website.

Delayed coverage of games will be shown during the week.
