The tender, which the Divisionsforeningen league body announced in mid-March, also covers the second-tier 1st Division and the country’s Danish Cup knockout competition.

The deadline for interested parties to reply to the invitation to tender was May 10.

The tender was launched following a decision by Denmark’s Competition Council to change a law that until recently had prevented these rights from being held by only one broadcaster.

The law was suspended in December, meaning the tender could result in one network snapping up the entire portfolio of rights to Danish club soccer action for the next four years.
