The Complete Guide to Global Sports Broadcast Rights & Platforms
Why does the same match air on a different platform depending on which country you're in? It comes down to how broadcast rights work. Sports governing bodies and leagues — FIFA, UEFA, the NBA and others — sell live broadcast rights separately, country by country, to different media companies. Only the platform holding the rights for a given territory is authorized to air the match there; any other platform airing it, even if technically capable, is doing so illegally.
For the same Champions League final, the UK uses TNT Sports, Germany uses DAZN, and China uses Tencent Sports
For the same World Cup, Australia watches for free on SBS, while the US watches on paid Fox Sports
No single platform is universal globally (which is why you need this guide)
