PPTV gains European club football rights package

Chinese streaming platform PPTV has acquired non-exclusive rights to a package of club football content marketed by the MP & Silva agency.

The package includes France’s Ligue 1, Italy’s Serie A, the English FA Cup and Scottish Premiership. It covers mainland China for the 2017-18 season.

Rival platform Tencent struck a deal for the same package of rights last week.
