Viaplay Group i ny 5-årig dart aftale
Viaplay Group og Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) har indgået en 5-årig aftale om rettighederne til PDC European Tour serien i Storbritannien, Holland, Polen og de nordiske og baltiske lande fra februar 2023.
PDC European Tour bringer dartfans 13 live-begivenheder i løbet af sæsonen. Hvert arrangement strækker sig over tre dage med otte timers konkurrence om dagen, hvilket giver i alt 312 live timers action i verdensklasse på Viaplay hvert år til og med 2027.
Peter Nørrelund, Viaplay Group Chief Sports Officer: “The PDC European Tour showcases darts’ ongoing global growth. Becoming the home of this exciting series in the birthplace of the sport is a further sign of Viaplay’s UK ambitions. The UK has darts at heart and this deal will make our service even more attractive to local viewers. At the same time, we can bring additional thrilling events to fans across our European footprint, where we have worked successfully with the PDC for many years.”
Matthew Porter, PDC CEO: “Viaplay have become a major broadcaster of PDC events over recent years and this is a natural extension of their coverage. The European Tour, which in 2023 will pay out over GBP 2.2M in prize money, is a much-loved series amongst darts fans and we’re delighted to be able to bring it to a new and wider audience through Viaplay’s numerous territories.”
