Pay-TV broadcaster StarTimes has purchased rights to show the FA Cup, English club soccer’s most prestigious knockout tournament, in sub-Saharan Africa.
The deal runs until 2021 and allows StarTimes to show the competition in all languages and across all of its platforms.
As well as the FA Cup, the deal also includes rights to the FA Community Shield, English soccer’s annual curtain-raiser between the winners of the previous season’s top-flight Premier League and the FA Cup.
Shi Maochu, StarTimes sport director, said: “This is a significant step for StarTimes. The Emirates FA Cup and the FA Community Shield are among the most competitive national football events and we are really happy to offer them to our subscribers during Christmas season.
“We have been building a very solid offer in terms of football for 2020 with national competitions such as Coppa Italia and Bundesliga, as well as European events like Uefa Europa League and Euro 2020.”
The deal means StarTimes replaces rival pay-TV broadcaster SuperSport as the home of the FA Cup in sub-Saharan Africa.
StarTimes will show the games across its eight sports channels and via its ON over-the-top (OTT) streaming service. The broadcaster’s coverage begins with the third round of the FA Cup on 4th January.
