La Liga 2, Spain’s second division soccer league, has started live streaming all of its matches for free on YouTube as part of a global partnership. The games are streaming in English commentary in 150 markets across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Last Friday’s match between Cadiz FC and Granada FC kicked off the international streaming deal, which will broadcast all matches per week until at least the end of the current season. The league’s official YouTube channel will host the games, as well as a 50-minute highlights program according to The Associated Press. In Spain, matches will continue to be shown only on local television where the league has TV rights agreements in place.
