fuboTV Picks Up Seria A & Coppa Italia Rights

The exclusive rights for Coppa Italia and the English-language rights for Serie A in Canada have been acquired by fuboTV.

The agreement with Seria A, brokered by Infront, consists of 380 matches annually, with fuboTV’s coverage beginning August 21. The Coppa Italia agreement includes a minimum of 41 live matches per season from the annual Italian cup competition, plus the Supercoppa Italiana. All matches will stream exclusively in Canada on fuboTV.

David Gandler, co-founder and CEO of fuboTV, said: “With Canadians cutting the cord at an increasing pace comparable to the U.S. market, according to a report by Boon Dog Professional Services, we see a tremendous growth opportunity for fuboTV. Our mission is to attract Canadians looking for low-cost, consumer friendly offerings to our premium sports-first live TV streaming platform. Today’s agreements for Serie A and Coppa Italia bring two of the most prestigious international soccer brands to fuboTV, further differentiating our platform with exclusive live sports that Canadians can’t watch anywhere else, and at a low price point.”

Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Serie A, said: “We are very proud to announce the agreements with fuboTV to broadcast Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana. Thanks also to the partnerships with Infront and S&T Sports Group, all the fans of Italian football in Canada will be able to follow our competitions with the same passion as always.”
