Sony Pictures Networks India has acquired exclusive rights in the country to this year’s edition of the International Champions Cup pre-season club football tournament.

The ICC will be shown via the Sony ESPN and Sony ESPN HD channels, and will also be available via the SonyLiv app.

The acquisition represents the latest move by SPN to increase its football coverage, with the company also having broadcast the recent Uefa Euro 2016 national team tournament in France.

This year's ICC, which will feature a host of top European clubs, begins tomorrow (Friday) and runs until August 13. Games will be held across Europe, the US, Australia and China.
