FanDuel Strikes Exclusive Broadcast Deal with Euroleague Basketball for the 2024-25 Season

16.10.2024

FanDuel has secured a new broadcast deal with Euroleague Basketball, bringing exclusive coverage of one EuroLeague game per regular-season round to US audiences for the 2024-25 season. The games will air on FanDuel TV’s free-to-air FAST channel, FanDuel TV Extra, and its OTT platform, FanDuel TV+, making top-tier European basketball more accessible to fans in the United States.

Complementing Existing US Broadcasts

This partnership with FanDuel enhances Euroleague’s existing broadcast arrangement with ESPN, which airs every game of the season in the US.

By offering additional free-to-air access, FanDuel aims to broaden the league’s reach among US basketball fans. The first game under this new agreement will feature the October 16 matchup between Spain’s FC Barcelona and AS Monaco.

Comments from Euroleague and FanDuel Executives

Alex Ferrer Kristjansson, Euroleague Basketball’s Marketing and Communication Chief Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the new deal: “This agreement with FanDuel is a major step in expanding our footprint outside the pan-European ecosystem. By expanding the EuroLeague broadcasting offer to US audiences, we’re opening exciting opportunities to grow our fan base and connect with basketball enthusiasts on a global scale.”

Mike Raffensperger, President of Sports at FanDuel, also highlighted the partnership’s significance: “We’re constantly looking to expand FanDuel TV’s robust offering of live sports, and EuroLeague has proven to be a highly engaging market among FanDuel users. Our agreement will provide more visibility to Europe’s premier basketball league and bring even more captivating watch-and-wager programming to FanDuel TV.”
