Bundesliga, Versant, USA Network and Fandango
Tuesday
The Bundesliga has agreed a US television deal worth around $100m over five years with USA Network and Fandango. More than 300 matches will air across the two platforms, replacing ESPN as the league’s American broadcast partner.
The deal gives USA at least 30 games and puts other fixtures on Fandango’s ad-supported platform. The reduced annual value compared with ESPN’s previous package shows a tougher US rights market for non-NFL and non-NBA properties.
