ESPN and La Liga have a six-year extension of a media-rights deal covering Spanish-speaking countries in South America. Matches will continue to air on ESPN linear networks and stream on Disney+ Premium through the 2031-32 season. This keeps La Liga in ESPN’s growing soccer portfolio in South America, which includes the Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League, Copa Libertadores and CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
Peak brokered the South American deal between La Liga and ESPN. This new pact comes on the heels of a deal last week that saw Disney+ add La Liga rights in France for the next three seasons. ESPN/Disney already had rights to La Liga, which begins its season on Saturday, in the U.S. (which runs through 2028-29), the Nordics (Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland through 2029-30), the U.K. and Ireland (which runs through 2027-28).
