October 7, 2014. Euroleague Basketball is proud to announce that three television markets without Turkish Airlines Euroleague teams will offer fans the best of the continental club basketball during the 2014-15 season thanks to new broadcasting rights agreements reached in each of them. The contracts will bring Euroleague action to the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Slovakia from the very start of the season until a champion is crowned at the Turkish Airlines Final Four next spring.
Fans in the United Kingdom will once again get their Euroleague thrills through London-based BT, one of the biggest providers of digital TV for UK homes. BT joined Euroleague Basketball’s group of broadcasting partners for last season’s Final Four and now plans to offer its viewers the best in continental basketball for the full 2014-15 season, including the full-length weekly magazine One Devotion.
Euroleague Basketball and Czech TV will deliver a minimum of 60 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games to fans in that country. The games will be shown over the air on Czech TV’s CT4 or streamed on the Internet via the channel’s website. The agreement gives CT4 the rights to two games per week as well as One Devotion: The Euroleague Basketball Magazine. The network has the right to broadcast the 2015 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four live or on delay as well.
Euroleague Basketball is equally pleased to have come to terms with Slovak Sport to bring regular coverage of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague to Slovakia. Slovak Sport, a Pay TV channel with 200,000 subscribers, will broadcast the Euroleague Game of the Week throughout the 2014-15 season.
