UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Women’s Champions League will continue airing on beIN Sports through 2027.
BeIN Media Group and UC3, the joint venture between UEFA and the ECA, have renewed their long-standing media rights partnership, securing beIN Sports’ exclusive broadcast of Europe’s top club football competitions across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia until 2027.
First established in the 2012/13 season, the collaboration ensures that beIN will continue to air the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League in 33 markets for the next three years. Under the new agreement, beIN subscribers in 23 MENA countries and 10 Asian nations will enjoy expanded coverage, with the recently revamped tournament formats delivering 20% more matches. The UEFA Women’s Champions League will also adopt an expanded 18-team league format starting from the 2025/26 season.
Commenting on the agreement, Mohammed Al-Subaie, CEO of beIN MENA, said: “With UEFA’s new competition format living up to its promise and producing huge matches from matchday one, we are delighted that beIN will continue to bring this new era to our subscribers in MENA and Asia. BeIN has been home to elite European club football for more than a decade now, providing award-winning coverage of every game, insights from a wide range of world-class analysts and experts, and exclusive interviews with the most influential figures in the game. We are proud of our partnership with UC3, and to extend it once again is testament to our position as the global home of football.”
Guy-Laurent Epstein, Co-Managing Director, UC3, added: “We are delighted to extend our long-standing, fruitful partnership with beIN Sports. Thanks to their cutting-edge analysis and high-quality production levels, fans in 33 countries across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia will continue to enjoy the new-look UEFA men’s club competitions in addition to the exciting, revamped UEFA Women’s Champions League for the next three years.”
This year’s competitions are approaching their climax, with the UEFA Champions League semi-finals featuring Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona vs. Inter Milan, followed by the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League semi-finals in early May.
The renewed agreement ensures that beIN Sports will maintain exclusive rights to every match, broadcasting across its network in countries including Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and others. The deal also restores UEFA club competition coverage to Indonesia and the Philippines.
Over the past 11 years, beIN Sports has been the platform for some of modern European football’s most unforgettable moments, such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s overhead kick against Juventus and Tottenham’s dramatic comeback against Ajax in the 2019 UEFA Champions League semi-final.
