Eurosport to show live Norwegian Eliteserien football

Eurosport has picked up the rights to broadcast live coverage of selected matches from Norway’s premier domestic football competition – Eliteserien.

The pan-European broadcaster’s coverage kicks off on Tuesday, 16 June, to coincide with the opening round of the 2020 Norwegian football season.

Fans in the UK and across Europe will be able to watch at least two games live from each matchday, initially for the first three rounds of the Eliteserien season, on Eurosport 1 and via its online streaming service Eurosport Player.

Aalesunds FK will host champions Molde for the first half of a double-header on what will be Eurosport’s first broadcast of the Eliteserien across Europe on the opening day of the season.

Eurosport will also show the biggest match in Norwegian football on matchday two when bitter rivals Molde and Rosenborg go toe-to-toe at the Aker Stadion in the country’s west.

Commenting on the deal, Eurosport’s Andrew Georgiou said:

“We are as excited as the millions of sports fans across Europe that live sport is making a return to our screens.

“By showing the Eliteserien to fans across the continent, Discovery and Eurosport is using its various channels and platforms to bring its portfolio of live sport to even more people.

“Our scale and expertise mean we have the right-holder relationships and content to give fans the best possible offer at this challenging time – and increasingly enjoying the return of live sport.”
