Jovem Pan Brazilian TV and Sports Expansion

In July 2026 Jovem Pan acquired a 50 % stake in Rede Mais Família, creating a nationwide affiliate network and preparing a full‑time open‑air TV channel for news, sports, entertainment and original programming, with founder Rinaldi Faria remaining during the transition.

In early August 2026 the group sealed a three‑season agreement to broadcast Germany’s Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 in Brazil. The rights provide live coverage of three matches per round – one from the top division and two from the second – on the new TV channel, the Jovem Pan Esportes YouTube stream, and are complemented by radio, social‑media and dedicated studio shows.

The partnership coincides with German public‑service broadcasters scheduling 68 free‑to‑air 3. Liga matches for the 2026/27 season, giving clubs such as MSV Duisburg multiple live slots while Rot‑Weiss Essen misses the first four matchdays. Additionally, RTL announced it will air three first‑round DFB‑Pokal games on free TV, with parallel pay‑TV coverage on Sky.
