CANAL+, Premier League partner in over 50 countries, becomes the exclusive broadcaster of the competition for the 2025/2026, 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 seasons in Poland, the second largest market for the Group, as well as in Myanmar.

In Poland, where the Premier League has been aired on CANAL+ for more than 25 years, the games will be live exclusively on CANAL+ channels and on the CANAL+ digital platform, thereby confirming CANAL+’s position as the leading player in broadcasting premium sports rights in the country, including the exclusivity of all UEFA Champions League and Polish championship PKO BP Ekstraklasa matches, along with high-quality editorial treatment and famous experts to comment on the games in Polish language.

CANAL+ is the number one Premier League broadcaster throughout the world with the acquisition of the league in over 50 countries including France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Vietnam and in Sub-Saharan Africa. Myanmar will join in from the 2025/2026 season, ensuring a unique coverage of the competition on the vast majority of Group CANAL+’s key territories, where sport is a key driver for subscribers.
