Paramount wins UK rights for most Champions League matches from 2027
LONDON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - U.S. media company Paramount+ PSKY.O will show the majority of Champions League soccer matches in Britain from 2027 to 2031 after it beat the current main broadcaster TNT Sports in an auction, UC3 said on Friday.
Amazon's AMZN.O Prime Video retained the first pick of Tuesday matches in Britain and two other European markets, said UC3, a joint venture between UEFA and European Football Clubs, which sells the rights for the competition.
TNT Sports, previously known as BT Sport, has shown Champions League matches since the 2015-16 season.
The joint venture between British broadband company BT Group BT.L and Warner Bros Discovery Inc WBD.O said it would still have a strong soccer offer, including English Premier League, as well as an extensive portfolio of other premium sports.
On losing the Champions League rights, it said: "Ultimately we remained committed to the approach that made financial sense for our business, and for our customers."
