One Championship lands Indonesian rights deal

The Asia-focused One Championship mixed martial arts series has agreed a rights deal with Indonesian free-to-air broadcaster SCTV.

The length of the agreement was not disclosed, but it will run until at least the end of the 2018 One Championship season.

As One Championship’s official broadcast partner in Indonesia, SCTV will exploit the rights on its Liputan6.com and Vidio.com live-streaming platforms.

One Championship is making a concerted effort to boost its presence online. Earlier this month the series agreed a deal to allow selected bouts to be streamed live on social media platform Twitter.

One staged its latest major Indonesian event at the weekend, with Jakarta hosting One: Kings of Courage.
