LaLiga Secures €5.25 Billion Domestic Broadcast Rights in New Deals with Telefónica and DAZN
Madrid, Spain – LaLiga has announced a new cycle of domestic broadcast agreements worth €5.25 billion (US$5.74 billion) over five years with telefónica and DAZN, solidifying its position as the third-highest earning football league in terms of broadcast revenue, trailing only the premier League and the Bundesliga.
The deals will see Telefónica and DAZN jointly broadcast five games per matchday. Telefónica, utilizing its Movistar pay-TV network, will relinquish exclusivity for three match weeks – a change from the current 2024/25 and next season’s arrangements.
LaLiga anticipates total domestic media revenues will reach €6.14 billion (US$7.11 billion) for the next five-year period once rights for LaLiga Segunda,highlights,and public venue showings are sold,representing a nine percent increase over the current cycle.
“At a time when many leagues are losing value,LaLiga’s continued growth and achievement of record highs is especially notable,” stated LaLiga president Javier Tebas. ”This result reflects the strength of our product and the confidence of the operators, driven largely by our determined fight against piracy, which has allowed us to increase the number of operators’ users, and by the clubs’ efforts in the continuous advancement of audiovisual content, offering the best possible experience to the fans.”
Along with the main broadcast agreements, LaLiga has expanded its highlights distribution network with a new multi-year deal with the BBC. The agreement grants BBC Sport access to LaLiga highlight clips for publication on its website, app, and social channels on a weekly basis.

“following the announcement of our recent deal with the Bundesliga, we’re thrilled to now bring LaLiga clips to BBC Sport’s digital platforms,” said Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport. “These additions strengthen our already extensive global football offering and allow us to showcase the stories, rivalries and standout talent from across Europe.
