LiveScore announces expanded streaming rights
LiveScore, one of the world’s leading real-time sports updates and streaming service providers, has announced an expanded set of league and competition free-to-air live streaming rights for the 2020-21 football season, bringing its 2 million users in the UK and Ireland closer to the action than ever before.
Fresh from its coverage of the recent season climax which saw Juventus emerge as champions, LiveScore will live stream a staggering 306 matches from Italy’s 2020-21 Serie A campaign – 80% of the total fixtures being played – with each one available for free within the UK and Ireland and fully-integrated via the LiveScore iOS and Android apps. Premier Sports will continue to broadcast every game from Italy’s popular top flight as part of their existing offering.
LiveScore’s free-to-air live streaming service launched for the UK and Ireland audience in June, putting the brand at the forefront of the return of live sport during the COVID-19 pandemic. The service attracted more than half a million unique viewers in its first two months, with a peak audience of 125,000 being reached during AC Milan’s 4-2 comeback victory over Juventus on Tuesday 7th July.
Ric Leask, Marketing Director at LiveScore, said;“After a fantastic start for our new LiveScore free-to-air live streaming service, we’re excited that our offering is set to get bigger and better for the new 2020-21 season. As well as returning to the hugely popular leagues in Italy and Portugal, by unveiling a number of new competitions we are continuing to innovate and offer our UK and Ireland audience the most immersive sports coverage possible.”
“This is an important next step for LiveScore as we continue to expand our digital content offering. In addition to the live streaming options for our UK and Ireland audience, global LiveScore users can expect to enjoy a range of on-demand content from across the football world including through our partnership with LaLiga Santander. We’re excited to kick-off the 2020-21 season!”
