Virgin Media secure Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League rights for next three seasons

Virgin Media have revealed that they have secured TV coverage for the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League for the next three seasons.

Live Score had previously secured rights for the Champions League and this will now act as a huge boost to Irish viewers.

Virgin will have their choice of games for Wednesday nights and can broadcast all Europa League and Europa Conference League fixtures.

Paul Higgins who is Vice President of Commercial at Virgin Media welcomed the news.

"This is fantastic news for Irish football fans as we continue to bring the best of European football to their screens including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Nations League and the new UEFA Europa Conference League which will potentially include League of Ireland clubs.

“This confirms Virgin Media as the leading Irish sports hub including free to air viewing, the best home-produced commentary and analysis and exclusive customer content through Virgin Media Sport.

"We’re looking forward to bringing the biggest clubs, the best players and the most excitement to our viewers and customers in the new season ahead."
