Stoiximan Greek Basketball League broadcasting rights

Overview

The Greek Basketball Clubs Association (ESAKE) prepared to decide on the television broadcasting rights for the Stoiximan Greek Basketball League (GBL) on October 7. Initial discussions involved proposals from SKAI TV, which sought a five-year extension valued at approximately 49 to 50 million euros.

Following these developments, the SKAI Group announced plans to launch a new sports broadcasting platform, Spor FM TV. The platform is expected to launch around October 2 to coincide with the start of the Stoiximan GBL season. As part of a broader sports strategy, the group aims to acquire the GBL broadcasting rights for the next three years in a deal valued at approximately 25 million euros. While some matches will air on the SKAI free-to-air channel, Spor FM TV is intended to be the primary home for the league and will reportedly remain free of charge until the end of 2026.
