Canal+ Extends Rights to La Liga

The Swedish Canal+ has secured the exclusive rights to the Spanish soccer league La Liga for the 2012-2013 through the 2014-2015 seasons. La Liga has been broadcast on Canal+ since 2010, and will continue for the next four seasons. The contract is for all media platforms including matches shown exclusively on Canal+ and a selection in HD.  

"Spanish soccer is in a class of its own," says Johan Kleberg, CEO for Canal+. "Spain dominates the national-team soccer and Barcelona local-club soccer. We're proud and happy to be able to continue to offer our customers the biggest stars and best soccer."
