Spanish basketball’s ACB organizing body has extended rights deals with broadcasters in Portugal, the Czech Republic, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) ahead of the upcoming new season.
In Portugal, coverage will be provided by global streaming service DAZN following its acquisition of pay-TV broadcaster Eleven Sports, while public-service broadcaster Czech Television (CT) will continue to show matches in that country, and Sharjah Sports will do the same in the MENA region.
