Euro 2024: who will broadcast the final phase matches?
The sports landscape underwent a significant change with the news that ESPN gave up part of the broadcasting rights for Euro 2024. As announced by @Puntaje_Ideal on X (formerly Twitter), all the Round of 16 matches that will be played at 13:00 (representing the first time slot within the calendar) They will be exclusive to Disney+following the recent merger with Star+ on June 26. This decision leaves ESPN with the responsibility of broadcasting only half of the matches that are part of the second shift, that is, starting at 4 p.m.
In this way, ESPN will only offer four of the eight round of 16 games and two of the four quarterfinals. This measure did not go down well with those who only pay for cable and are not subscribed to any streaming platform since now if they want to watch all the games they will have to subscribe to Disney+.
