Premier Sports and LaLiga have entered a new phase of their multi-year broadcast agreement in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with the 24/7 English-language channel LaLigaTV available from today via the Premier Player OTT streaming service.
In a strategic agreement with Premier Sports announced last month, LaLiga is to become the first football league to have a 24/7 dedicated channel in either the UK or Ireland carrying all live games via major TV platforms, following LaLigaTV’s launch via Sky TV platform during the coming months.
And in a special offer, Spanish football fans in both countries will have the chance to enjoy top LaLiga fixtures for free this weekend during Matchday 9, as Premier Sports and LaLiga introduce a seven-day trial subscription to LaLigaTV via subscribe.premiersports.tv using the promo code 7DAYFREE
Through this offer, fans can take in top-flight games from Spain including Saturday evening’s matchup between newly promoted RCD Mallorca and Real Madrid, or surprise package Real Sociedad facing Real Betis at Sunday lunchtime. The offer expires on Friday evening, prior to the kick-off of Granada vs. Osasuna. A full schedule of all LaLigaTV live matches is included below.
LaLigaTV is available from £5.99 per month or £49 annually, representing unbeatable value for subscribers. Every available LaLiga match can be viewed live via a dedicated 24/7 channel broadcasting in high-definition 1080p. Fans can also purchase LaLigaTV alongside Premier Sports 1 and 2 channels for £11.99 per month.
In addition, Premier Sports will continue to broadcast one live LaLiga match per round via its free-to-air channel FreeSports, starting with this Sunday’s Deportivo Alavés vs. RC Celta de Vigo fixture, as well as the weekly LaLiga Highlights programme.
LaLigaTV is a 24/7 English-language channel that carries every game live from LaLiga alongside hours of top-class daily studio shows each including LaLiga World, VIVA LaLiga and The LaLiga Show. Familiar faces to Spanish football fans worldwide feature regularly, including: Guillem Balagué, Graham Hunter, Terry Gibson, Sid Lowe, Gaizka Mendieta, Pete Jenson, Gus Poyet, Lauren Bisan, Simon Hanley, Duncan McMath, Semra Hunter, Phil Kitromilides, Albert ‘Chapi’ Ferrer, Steve Archibald and Quinton Fortune, among many others.
Melcior Soler, Audiovisual Director at LaLiga said:
“We’re pleased to be entering the next phase of our strategic broadcast agreement with Premier Sports. For both casual and devoted fans of Spanish football, LaLigaTV offers the best quality programming, with household names providing expert commentary and analysis, as well as all available live matches in full HD. For a fraction of the price of other football subscription offerings, viewers in the UK and Ireland can enjoy ‘all LaLiga, all the time’ via LaLigaTV.”
Richard Sweeney, CEO of Premier Sports said:
“We are delighted and proud to announce the 24/7 dedicated LaLigaTV HD channel launches today on the Premier Player. Football fans can now enjoy every moment on the go or cast to their TV’s at the touch of a button.”
“Premier Sports customers and LaLiga fans can access all live matches with full studio analysis and daily live shows from the world’s greatest league in this truly unique partnership.”
