Milan, Italy – May 16, 2024 - Italian broadcaster Mediaset has secured rights to broadcast select LaLiga matches free-to-air, as part of a sub-licensing agreement with DAZN. The deal,announced in April 2024,extends to include coverage of matches from the second-tier LaLiga Hypermotion,and also encompasses rights in Portugal.

Currently,several Italian players are active in laliga,including Giacomo raspadori and Matteo Ruggeri,both of whom play for Atletico Madrid.The sub-licensing deal with DAZN provides Mediaset with valuable content and expands its sports programming offerings for Italian viewers.
