The streaming platform Disney+ is set to show live Women’s Champions League matches from next season across multiple European broadcast territories, including the United Kingdom.
It is understood Disney+ has agreed a five-year deal which will mean that it broadcasts every single match in the competition live, which is being perceived as a major step forward for coverage of the European women’s game’s top club competition.
The streaming platform’s move to enter the women’s football market follows the news announced in December that Netflix secured the United States broadcast rights for live coverage of the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups.
