Paramount+ Mexico will broadcast all the English League matches until 2024.
They add exclusivity of the streaming platform in other Central American countries.
They promise, in addition to the games, to generate content about the clubs and soccer players.
ViacomCBS announced this afternoon that it already has exclusive broadcast rights for the Premier League in Mexico and several Central American countries through the streaming platform Paramount +.
Thus, the media tycoon will bet on live sporting events as part of his strategy, which has already paid off in 25 markets.
In addition to Mexico, the English League may be broadcast, under a three-year contract, in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, and on a non-exclusive basis in Belize and the Dominican Republic.
However, the agreement will start to apply from the 2022/23 season and will end until 2024/25, which means that the remaining matches of the tournament that is currently being played will continue to be broadcast on SKY, until August of this year.
“The Premier League is pleased to announce our new partnership with ViacomCBS in Mexico and Central America.”
“We are very pleased that ViacomCBS sees the Premier League and our clubs as a vital part of its live sports offering. ViacomCBS platforms including Paramount+ and Pluto TV will be a great home for the Premier League and we look forward to working together to showcase the league to new and existing fans in Central America and Mexico,” said Paul Molnar, Premier League media director in a statement.
In addition to all the matches, the company promises complete coverage of the league, including exclusive and special content from the different clubs and players included in the competition and, although Pluto TV is mentioned as one of the beneficiaries of the alliance, so far It has not been clarified what will be the type of content that will be able to transmit.
Meanwhile, Paramount + already offers sports content in other countries, Champions League, NFL or Series A, among others; and ViacomCBS owns the rights to the Australian A-League men’s and women’s professional leagues and the Barclays FA Women’s Super League on Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network in the US.
This was the reaction of the fans:
