Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) has confirmed a partnership with Facebook to telecast the Spanish top division football league, La Liga, on TV in India this season. SPN’s sports channels will telecast over 100 selected matches, according to the deal. It includes the key clashes, El Clasico and Madrid Derby.

Facebook had won the media rights for La Liga for the Indian subcontinent for three seasons starting from the 2018/19 season. Sony Pictures held the rights in the subcontinent prior to the Facebook acquisition.

However, to ensure the widest coverage for LaLiga in India Facebook had been looking for a tie-up with an Indian sports broadcaster for the LaLiga broadcast.

The football fans and fraternity had also expressed its disappointment over La Liga absence from the conventional screen. Television has always remained the first choice for video content consumption in the country. The availability and access to the digital content on OTT platform is still not seamless in India. Driven by these factors, Facebook had considered a La Liga rights sub-licensing deal.
