UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, has opened tender processes in the Nordic countries covering the sale of media rights to its range of club competitions during the 2024-27 cycle.

Rights are on the market for the 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 seasons of the top-tier UEFA Champions League (UCL), second-tier Europa League, and third-tier Europa Conference League (to be renamed the Conference League from next season). The process went live across five countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden – on October 25, with a deadline for bids of November 28.
