As Interest in the Saudi Pro League Soars, Television Options for the World Audience Increase
With big names making their way into the Saudi Pro League, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino, and Jordan Henderson, global interest in matches in the league has peaked.
The natural interest in this trajectory is the increase in demand for matches on television and streaming services.
The broadcast rights for the Saudi Pro League are held by the Saudi Sports Company (SSC). However, fans outside Saudi Arabia can watch live matches and streams. Sky Sports streams games live in the UK on its official YouTube Channel.
In the US, ESPN will offer select options of matches from the Saudi Pro League to its audiences.
Elsewhere, SportItalia (Italy), Bild (Germany), Sport TV (Portugal), and L’Equipe (France) will air Saudi Pro League matches in Europe.
Sony Sports Network (India) and SSC (Middle East) will offer fans access to the matches outside Europe. Shahid has the broadcast rights to air matches internationally.
Highlights of the Saudi Pro League games will be available through the SSC’s official YouTube channel and other platforms.
These options provide the basis for exporting the Saudi Pro League to meet the surging interest worldwide.
