DAZN have reportedly won the rights to be able to show Saudi Pro League games next season with the broadcasters confident this will be a great investment.
According to the Daily Mail, the broadcasters have won the rights to show every game live on their streaming service, with the first game kicking off this Friday.
According to the report, it has learned that three matches each week, including every one involving Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, will be available to watch live via the streaming service starting with Friday’s match between Al-Ahli Saudi and Al-Hazm.
This comes as a raft of new top-class players will be in the division and the rights being won by DAZN will give a chance for the UK viewers to tune in.
Steven Gerrard’s first game as manager of Al-Ettifaq against Ronaldo’s Al Nassr is the highlight of the first round of fixtures next Monday in a clash that illustrates the growing interest in what has been the most talked about league in the world this summer.
How can you watch the Saudi Pro League in the UK
To be able to watch the games you simply head over to the DAZN website, from there you choose what subscription you’d like to pay, with there being some decent prices it seems and then go from there.
This represents a huge boost for the league that was hoovering up some of the top talents in the division and partnering with a UK streaming service like DAZN is sure to bring the eyes onto the division itself and make the League a lot of money.
Whether this will be enough to match their vision of being one of the top 10 leagues in the world remains to be seen but this will certainly be a huge boost to the league itself.
