Eleven Sports has teamed up with pay TV service provider Canal+ Poland to acquire the Polish rights to Spanish La Liga football in a new three-year deal starting from next season.

Eleven Sports and Canal+ will show five live matches each on an exclusive basis every match week from August 2018 until 2021.

The pair will alternate first picks each week, with both showing live coverage of every El Clásico league fixture simultaneously.

The agreement with LaLiga also includes highlights and near live clips for social media for both Eleven Sports and Canal+.

“Eleven Sports has been focused on delivering the event experience beyond the 90 minutes to bring fans close to the La Liga action with our world class studio and in-stadia analysis, player interviews and magazine shows. We are therefore thrilled to be awarded rights for the three upcoming La Liga seasons ensuring that we will deliver outstanding coverage of one of the top football leagues in Europe,” said Krzysztof Świergiel, managing director, Poland, Eleven Sports.

Eleven Sports also offers coverage of some Bundesliga football, The Emirates FA Cup, Formula 1 motorsports, mixed martial arts and Speedway in Poland.

The sports broadcaster recently launched Eleven Sports 4, its fourth channel in the Polish market, and renamed its portfolio of services in the country.
