UEFA–Club Venture Sets 2027–33 Rights Tender, Offering Global First Pick for Champions League Matches

The revamp targets roughly €5bn a year via a bundled sale of the five biggest markets alongside a one‑match global pick.

Overview

  • UC3 said the first tender begins 13 October, with Relevent handling sales for UEFA’s club competitions.
  • The new model would let one provider stream a single first‑choice Champions League game each matchweek globally where permitted.
  • Netflix has been sounded out and is expected to bid for that slot, with other major streamers also courted, according to reports.
  • Rights in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain will be auctioned simultaneously, allowing one buyer to secure all five markets.
  • A fully global arrangement cannot include the United States until 2030 due to CBS’s existing deal, and longer-than-three-year contracts are under consideration.
