Sky Deutschland has extended a deal for pay-television rights in Germany to the Uefa Champions League club football competition.
The deal with Uefa, football’s European governing body, will run for three years, from 2015-16 to 2017-18.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sky will show 146 matches live per season, with 128 of the games being shown on an exclusive basis. The deal also includes highlights of the competition and live coverage of the annual Super Cup game between the winners of the previous season’s Champions League and Europa League.
The deal, which was brokered on behalf of Uefa by the Team Marketing agency, covers all media platforms.
Uefa’s broadcast partners for the 2012-13 to 2014-15 seasons of the Champions League in Germany are Sky and public-service broadcaster ZDF. The free-to-air rights for the 2015-16 to 2017-18 cycle are yet to be awarded.
