Turner will broadcast the majority of its UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches—nearly 300—exclusively on its new subscription OTT platform, B/R Live.
The media conglomerate acquired UEFA rights for the next three years and will air 47 matches on linear channel TNT in 2018/19—the Europa League final, the UEFA Super Cup (pitting the Europa and Champions League winners), and 45 Champions League matches. Each match on TNT will also be available on B/R Live.
The full inventory of matches in Turner’s package amounts to more than 340, so the majority of group stage matches will only be available via streaming.
