With a bid of more than $60 million annually, Turner has won the U.S. English-language media rights to the UEFA Champions League starting in 2018, according to Sports Business Journal. Univision retained the Spanish-language rights and will pay around $35 million per year.

Turner struck a three-year deal with UEFA, European soccer's governing body. The deal marks a return to soccer for the network, which has not aired the sport since the 1990 World Cup.
