beIN Media Group secures major football broadcasting rights in MENA

beIN Media Group has secured a dominant position in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) sports broadcasting market. Through a new agreement effective for the 2026–2027 season, the Qatari-owned group will broadcast the entirety of the English, Spanish, and French football leagues, alongside the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.

The content will be available across 24 markets in the MENA region via beIN linear channels and the TOD streaming platform. To broaden its audience, the group plans to provide commentary in Arabic, English, and French. This expansion follows a significant investment in 2025, where the group secured exclusive Premier League rights for the 2025–2028 cycle for a record $750 million.
