Abu Dhabi-based streaming service STARZPLAY Arabia has launched a dedicated Sports streamer in the MENA region. Subscribers to STARZPLAY Sports will be able to watch all 380 matches from Italy’s top football league, Serie A, with subtitles in English and Arabic. The Italian football league will be streamed on the newly launched channels AD Sports Premium 1 and AD Sports Premium 2, exclusively on STARZPLAY.
STARZPLAY Sports will also include matches from international and regional football tournaments such as Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana and the Dutch Eredivisie. As part of the offering, subscribers will have access to the EuroLeague and EuroCup basketball competitions, PGA Tour, the Pakistan Super League and the Indian home series.
The service will offer live sports events, which will then become available to watch on-demand “immediately” once the event ends. The company says it “seeks to disrupt the sporting entertainment scene by bringing the best live sports events under one platform.”
Danny Bates, Chief Commercial Officer, STARZPLAY, said: “As the pioneer of SVOD in the region and since launching our first sports channel in 2021, building an exclusive portfolio of sports in the OTT space has been our strategic priority. Now, we are challenging the status quo of sports streaming with STARZPLAY Sports, a platform like no other that will provide sports lovers more reasons to cheer.
“We are dedicated to ensuring the best sports entertainment is readily accessible to our subscribers. We leverage cutting-edge technology to bring users a seamless, high-quality experience and best industry low latency live streaming possible.”
STARZPLAY currently has over 2.1 million subscribers across the 19 territories it operates in. The sports streamer will be made available through desktop and mobile platforms.
