Norwegian commercial broadcaster TV2 has said it will hold talks with pay-TV operator Viaplay after coverage in Denmark of a Uefa Champions League match by the latter was inadvertently made available to Norwegian viewers.

The first 55 minutes of Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday was available in Norway via the V Sport Ultra HD channel. TV2 replaced Viaplay (previously Nordic Entertainment Group) as the Champions League rights-holder in Norway during the 2021-24 cycle.
