Liberty Global-owned cable operator Ziggo has acquired English Premier League rights in the Netherlands for the next three seasons.
Ziggo has the rights to live matches and highlights as well as the rights to make matches available via the internet and the Horizon Go and Ziggo Sport Totaal Go apps.
Ziggo Sports will broadcast a selection of Premier League matches via channel 14 of its EPG, with additional matches to be shown on Ziggo Totaal Sports channels.
Ziggo already holds rights to Spanish first division football, while UEFA Champions League coverage is available via the Ziggo Sport Totaal package.
Ziggo Sport director Will Moerer said that the company would strengthen its sports offering with further rights acquisitions.
