Serie A sells domestic TV rights

After revoking Mediaproโ€™s offer last month, Serie A has found a new deal for the domestic TV rights.

The Italian league will receive a total of โ‚ฌ973.3 million each season over the next three years.

Sky Italia will pay โ‚ฌ780 million annually for two packages of the games while Perform will pay โ‚ฌ193.3 million a year for the third package.

Between their two packages, Sky Italia will broadcast seven matches each match day and Perform will broadcast three matches each giornata.

โ€œItโ€™s a very important day for Italian football, as after a long negotiation process started circa a year ago, the TV rights have finally been sold,โ€ said Lega Serie A President Gaetano Miccichรฉ.

โ€œIf we calculate TV rights sold abroad โ€“ and we havenโ€™t completed all of those yet โ€“ the overall worth of Italian football has climbed to โ‚ฌ1.4 billion.โ€

Mediapro are currently suing Serie A over the retraction of the original agreement.
