Australian streaming startup Sports Flick has reportedly secured the broadcast rights for the UEFA Champions League in Australia, taking it from Optus.
Sports Flick, a Sydney-based platform which offers livestream and on-demand content, reportedly won a blind-style tender process for the football tournament, according to media reports.
Reports suggest the deal is worth about $60 million over a three-year period.
Optus had previously secured the Australian broadcast rights to the UEFA League in 2018 for three years.
The win for Sports Flick comes days after it secured the football 2021 Korean K-League, which was also previously held by Optus.
CEO and founder of Sports Flick, Dylan Azzopardi, says the platform will be announcing further football leagues.
