Sky Mexico secures long-term FEI rights agreement

Pay-television broadcaster Sky Mexico has struck a new long-term rights deal with the FEI, the global governing body of equestrian sports.

The agreement will run for six years, from 2015 to 2020.

It covers Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.

The IMG agency helped to broker the deal, having struck a separate long-term rights deal with the FEI last week.

The contract includes coverage of the 2018 Equestrian Games; the European Championships in jumping, dressage and eventing in 2015, 2017 and 2019; the Nations Cup Jumping, FEI World Cup jumping, dressage and driving series; and the Classics and the World Cup vaulting finals.
