The divestment plan imposed on Disney by the CNDC would result in many sporting events being transferred to other signals, in addition to local soccer.
The strong opinion of the National Competition Commission (CNDC) regarding the merger between Disney and Fox entails a series of measures that will lead to that the multimedia company has to sell the rights it currently owns, to other signals.

Although the focus is on the possibility that the Professional Soccer League switches to another signal and with Boca and River matches at no additional cost for at least 18 months, the truth is that the “fundamental contents“include to practically all the sporting events that are broadcast by the signals of ESPN and Fox Premium. Among them stand out the Copa Libertadores, the Copa Sudamericana, the UEFA Champions League and Formula 1.
How the Government’s decision will affect the Copa Libertadores, the UEFA Champions League and Formula 1
In the case of these sporting events, the CNDC ruling determines that “Disney must transmit openly and free of charge the relevant content of each of the events defined within the fundamental contentThus, it would seem that the concept of “relevance” will be left to discretion of the multimedia company, although closely watched by the CNDC.
This position is contrasted with the one that the same opinion established for local soccer. In that case, the condition that the CNDC imposes on Disney and Fox is “broadcast openly and free of charge two matches of the local soccer league currently broadcast on the Fox Sports premium channel, one of which must necessarily be River or Boca, since these two teams are the ones with the largest call and audience“.
