By GlobalDataThe broadcast deal was brokered by Swiss sports rights agency Infront, which is the SPFL’s global media rights partner.
As many as 4.39 million Canadians self-reported as having Scottish ethnic or cultural origins in a 2021 census, and the country also boasts a growing soccer fanbase.
Indeed 2026 will see the country jointly host the FIFA World Cup alongside the US and Mexico, with 12 games to be staged across Vancouver and Toronto.
Indeed, a number of Canadian national team players compete in the SPFL, a factor Tenor Sports will be looking to take advantage of in the lead-up to the showpiece tournament, including Derek Cornelius (Rangers), Alistair Johnston (Celtic), and Junior Hoilett (Hibernian).
The partnership was inaugurated on January 3 with the showpiece Old Firm derby game between Glasgow rivals Rangers and Celtic, with Rangers running out 3-1 winners.
Prior to that game, Rangers announced that Scottish gas company Pipeline Energy Solutions would step in as the club’s back-of-shirt sponsor for the rest of the 2025-26 season.
Pipeline Energy Solutions branding will now appear on the lower back-of-shirt position for all Rangers kits worn by the men’s and women’s teams through the season.
The deal also began with the win over Celtic, marking the expansion of Pipeline Energy Solutions’ coverage of Rangers to the first team, having previously sponsored the club’s youth-category sides.
