The first games on Sport1 and Sport2 will be Győri Audi ETO KC's pursuit to qualify for the Women's EHF Champions Group Matches in the qualification tournament on September 12 and 13.

Levente Málnay, the CEO of AMC Networks International-Central Europe (AMCNI CE), remarked: "We are proud to be the Channel of Champions. The VELUX EHF and the Women's EHF Champions League are new programs on our channels, and Sport1 and Sport2 will bring the games to the vast majority of Hungarian households.

We are very much looking forward to our cooperation with AMCNI CE, and we are confident that we have found a partner that is able to lift handball coverage in Hungary to the next level."
