"Europe's top clubs are aiming to earn at least 5bn (4.3bn) annually from the sale of television rights to Champions League, Europa League and Conference League games in the next cycle, potentially sealing a 10% increase on their current value. The first media rights tenders for the period between 2027 and 2033 will be launched this month."
"The rights for Europe's five major markets England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain will go to tender at once, leaving open the opportunity for one broadcaster to purchase them for all five countries rather than their being sold piecemeal. It will be the first major challenge for UC3, the joint venture created between Uefa and European Football Clubs. The latter was known as the European Club Association until a glitzy relaunch at its general assembly in Rome this week."
"Together we are building something unique with ambition, to deliver the most engaging football, the most innovative and the most accessible, to expand our core revenue streams, he said."
Top European clubs aim to secure at least 5bn (4.3bn) annually from television rights for Champions League, Europa League and Conference League matches in the 2027–33 cycle, targeting about a 10% increase. Media rights tenders for 2027–33 will launch this month. One match per matchweek could be globally streamed by a single provider with first-pick rights, opening the door to platforms such as Disney or Netflix. Champions League clubs receive roughly 75% of rights earnings, currently 2.9bn for the present cycle. Rights for England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain will be tendered together, allowing a single buyer across all five markets. UC3 and Relevent Sports will handle global marketing and sales.
